I have been appraising properties in Maine and New Hampshire since 1998. I am Certified and FHA approved as well. The primary counties I cover are: Cumberland, York, Oxford and Androscoggin but i do cover the entire state of Maine. I specialize in unique complex properties that are hard to access like island properties, mountain side, extremely rural and seasonal properties.

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Ensures accurate valuation reflecting current market conditions, assisting in financial decisions.

Home and property appraisals cost about $355 on average, ranging from $250 to $500, 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.

Foundation cracks won’t always affect your appraised value. All foundations crack due to normal settlement, so hairline cracks that aren’t leaking or uneven from side to side are unlikely to have an impact on your appraisal. Structural cracks, on the other hand, often lead to a reduced appraised value, especially if the underlying problem will cause the issue to worsen over time.

If you can’t find any records online, you’ll need to contact your county clerk’s office to do further research. They should have property records on file, or can at least point you in the right direction of who to contact. You can also speak with your neighbors about when their houses were built because they were likely built around the same time.

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.
