Do ponds add to your home’s value?

• <div><p>In short, yes, a pond can add to your home’s value. However, whether it adds value will depend on the condition and aesthetic of your pond. Having this feature already built into a yard’s home can be appealing to homebuyers who value its aesthetic and would prefer not to build it themselves. But if it is not kept in good condition, it could turn buyers away.</p></div>

Do new windows increase property taxes?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Can I be present during the home appraisal?

• <div><p>You can be present during a home appraisal, but it’s best to stay out of the appraiser’s way. Make yourself available, but don’t engage or interrupt, and don’t discuss value or your target sales price. If possible, have your agent present in the house instead of being present yourself.</p></div>

Q: Is market value usually higher than appraised value?

• <div><p>The differences between market value and appraised value depend on the local market, so they can match, or either one can be higher than the other. In a &ldquo;seller&rsquo;s market,&rdquo; where there is an abundance of buyers, market value will likely sit higher than the appraised value because there&rsquo;s more demand for the low inventory of homes. In a &ldquo;buyer&rsquo;s market,&rdquo; where there are more homes than there are buyers, the market value is more likely to sit below the appraised value to entice buyers.</p></div>

Q: How much does a home appraisal cost?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-home-appraisal-cost.htm">Home and property appraisals cost</a> about <b>$355</b> on average, ranging from <b>$250 to $500</b>, depending on the size of the home and property, age of the property, comparability to nearby homes, and location. While single-family homes typically cost between $300 and $400 to appraise, multi-family home appraisal can cost $500 to $1,000 due to the increased size and building complexity.</p></div>
