"Brad was excellent. Because it was my first time hiring an appraiser, I asked him a lot of questions, which he answered thoroughly. It was apparent how knowledgeable he is. The report arrived in the timeframe he stated it would."

"Bronson Management Company, owned by Michael Godfrey, has helped me make informed, logical & educated decisions on the care and upgrade of my property. He has taken the stress out of a very stressful situation, as I am the owner of an out of state rental. Michael has in, 2 years, transformed my grade D- property into a well kept and profitable rental that commands a much higher passive stream of income. Through his guidance, property management and investor skills set, I have decided to purchase more rental property in his covered area. My prior experiences with 2 other management companies in the area was devistating. They soley collected rent and allowed my property to deteriorate over 4 years. In using Angie's List (for the very first time), I have found that Michael Godfrey of Bronson Management Company was a better fit for me and highly recommend him!"

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Basement bedrooms can count toward your room count and the square footage of your home on an appraisal if they’re fully legal, which means they have proper ventilation and points of egress, as defined by your local building code. Simply partitioning off a space for a bedroom in an otherwise unfinished basement that isn’t a legal living space won’t affect your appraisal value.

Ideally, you’d never pay more than the appraised value for a home, but there are some instances where it makes sense to do so. For example, if your current living arrangements are no longer viable and you need a place to move into quickly, paying more than the appraised value might be in your best interest to secure a new home. Additionally, if you’re buying in a hot market, overpaying for the home might be necessary to overcome the competition.

While some aspects of an appraisal, such as comparable properties nearby, are out of your control, there are several steps you can take to potentially increase your home's value. Make any necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser's visit, as they can only value what is currently part of the home, not its potential. Examples include renovating older areas, updating landscaping to boost curb appeal, and staging your home. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades, which may increase your home's value by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.

While there’s technically no limit to the dollar amount you can borrow for a home addition, the standard limit is around 80% of the value the addition is expected to add to your home. That means you could feasibly borrow up to $80,000 if an appraiser determines that the addition or bump out will add $100,000 in value to your property. You might also be limited by your debt-to-income ratio or credit score.

Whether or not new windows increase property taxes depends on where you live and by how much your upgrade increases your home’s value. Smaller projects likely won’t result in increased property taxes, but it’s always a good idea to err on the side of caution and check. Contact your local county appraisal department for the most accurate information about property taxes in your area.
