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>

How much do appraisals cost by home type?

• <div><p>The cost to appraise a home depends on the type. Common types include:</p><ul><li><p>Single-family homes: $300–$400</p></li><li><p>FHA or VA single-family homes: $400–$500</p></li><li><p>Condominium: $300–$500</p></li><li><p>Multi-family home: $500–$1,000</p></li><li><p>Apartment building: $1,500–$3,000</p></li><li><p>Commercial properties: $1,400–$10,000</p></li><li><p>Raw land: $1,000–$8,000</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Is a conventional loan the same as an FHA loan?

• <div><p>Both conventional loans and FHA loans are types of mortgages, but they have a few key differences. Conventional loans are backed by private lenders without any government backing, and FHA loans are guaranteed by a government agency. FHA loans are designed to be easier for borrowers with low credit scores or income to qualify for.</p></div>

Q: Do ponds add to your home’s value?

• <div><p>In short, yes, a pond can add to your home&rsquo;s value. However, whether it adds value will depend on the condition and aesthetic of your pond.

But if it is not kept in good condition, it could turn buyers away.</p></div>

Q: Do foundation cracks affect your appraisal?

• <div><p>Foundation cracks won&rsquo;t always affect your appraised value. All foundations crack due to normal settlement, so hairline cracks that aren&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: How do appraisals benefit property buyers and sellers?

• <div><p>They provide objective, third-party valuation, guiding fair sales or purchase prices.</p></div>

It went okay, the foreign workers arrived on schedule. They did not all speak English, they did not respect my property as I would have liked, but that was minor. The workers worked long and hard, it was finished to our approval and they came back to fix a few minor problems.
