Can I use an appraisal to get homeowners insurance?

• <div><p>Your home insurance company may allow you to use an appraisal instead of an inspection when you apply for coverage. Keep in mind that despite this, an appraisal is far less detailed than the different <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-home-inspections.htm">types of home inspections</a> available and may not reveal potential risks that you’ll want to know about. </p></div>

Will home window tinting boost my property value?

• <div><p>In many cases, window tinting will boost your home value. If you’re selling your home, especially in a warmer climate, buyers are very likely to see immense value in window tinting, which improves the home’s energy efficiency and helps make the living space more comfortable. Buyers may also recognize the privacy and security improvements offered by window tinting, which could lead to them paying more for your home.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a home inspection and a home appraisal?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-home-inspector.htm">A home inspection</a> evaluates the property visually to determine whether there are any structural problems that the current homeowner must repair before selling. A home appraisal is a thorough evaluation of the property and its surrounding area to determine its current market value, which informs homeowners of the value of their home to help set the asking price. The appraisal will guide the mortgage company&rsquo;s lending decision.</p></div>

Q: Is the appraisal value the same as market value?

• <div><p>No, the appraisal value comes from an appraiser and is a professional opinion of value based on property location and condition, while the market value is determined solely by what buyers are willing to pay for your home. Lenders normally use appraised values to ensure they&rsquo;re staying within target loan-to-value (LTV) ratios&mdash;the market value is simply what the home sells for. Appraised value can sit above or below market value.</p></div>

Q: Is it more affordable to build or buy a house?

• <div><p>It is almost always more affordable to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/building-vs-buying-house.htm">buy an existing home than to build one from scratch</a>. First of all, new construction mortgage interest rates are often higher than traditional loans. Also, when building a home, you're covering the cost of brand-new finishes, appliances, electrics, plumbing, utility hookups, and labor. Between the cost of labor and permits, building a home will often cost more in the long run. </p></div>
