Q: Do I need a property appraisal to buy a home?

<div><p>Appraisals aren&rsquo;t required by law to complete a real estate transaction, but it&rsquo;s unlikely that a lender will allow a buyer to close on a property without an appraisal, so, effectively, they are usually required. Your mortgage lender uses the property as collateral for your loan, and the appraisal is what the lender will base the mortgage on to confirm the value is there to justify their investment.</p></div>

Q: How much does a property appraisal cost?

<div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-home-appraisal-cost.htm">average cost of a property appraisal</a> is around <b>$355</b>, but different appraisers in your area could charge anywhere from <b>$250 to $500</b>. Appraisals for larger properties will often cost more, as will valuations for older properties. Appraisers will use homes in the surrounding area to help determine a valuation as well, so if your home doesn&rsquo;t conform to the neighborhood standards, the valuation will require more work and will likely cost more.</p></div>
