Does your yard affect an appraisal?

• <div><p>The condition and appearance of your yard can affect your home appraisal value. A well-maintained, attractive yard with curb appeal adds to a property’s value, while an overgrown, messy, poorly maintained yard can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-hurts-home-appraisal.htm">hurt your home’s appraisal</a>. Even small cosmetic improvements to your yard, like adding mulch, trimming trees, and cleaning out plant beds, can help your appraisal value.</p></div>

Q: Does wainscoting add value to a home?

• <div><p>Wainscoting isn&rsquo;t a design element that can be directly tied to an increased house price. Despite that, it is a highly marketable element that can generate significant interest from potential buyers who enjoy the style, and is relatively inexpensive to remove for those who don&rsquo;t. If you are on the fence about paneling, just know that it certainly wouldn&rsquo;t result in depreciation of your home&rsquo;s value&mdash;usually the opposite. </p></div>

Q: Are Colonial homes a good investment?

• <div><p>Yes, Colonial homes are generally a good investment. Most home buyers who are interested in this style love its simple yet functional interior and charming exterior. Plus, if you keep up with its maintenance, some homebuyers are more willing to purchase a traditional home without the common issues found in older homes.</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: What should I prepare before an appraisal?

• <div><p>Gather details of recent improvements, property documents, and any previous appraisals or inspections.</p></div>

I live two hours away, and Johanna was very accommodating to my schedule. She made the purchase and closing of my condo a breeze. She is very experience and was always on top of the situation, but she's never pushy. She's the best real estate agent, and it was a pleasure working with her.

Our problem: we have a good-sized house with great storage, but we weren't using any of it well. We had moved into it quickly and haphazardly because we had fulltime jobs and a new baby, and, four years later, the disorganization had fed on itself and multiplied. We needed a change, but we just...
