"Jason did a fantastic job. He is knowledgeable, professional and well versed in real estate appraisals-his experience really shines through. I was impressed from start to finish. I have dealt with appraisers before-they couldn't care less about your property-they merely want to get in-get out and collect a fee. Jason is completely different. He took the time to understand the property and the work done to make it a beautiful home for anyone. We had difficulty with realtors trying to low ball us and force their opinions on us when assessing our home for market. Jason came in and settled our frustrations-giving us an unbiased true value-which resulted in our favor-clearly proving our point. His experience worked for us and I know he can do the same for anyone. If you want a honest professional working for you-hire this man!!! Dean D"

Property Appraiser FAQs, answered by experts

Mobile homes weigh anywhere between 45 to 50 pounds per square foot. Some newer options weigh up to 70 pounds per square foot. An average single-wide mobile home weighs 45,000 pounds, and a double-wide mobile home weighs about 70,000 pounds. Triple-wide mobile homes range from 90,000 to 100,000 pounds.

In cases where an appraisal comes in lower than an offer price, sellers might opt to lower their asking price to meet the appraisal, especially if the market is slow, and replacing the offer with a higher one may take a long time. Sellers can also offer to make repairs to boost the appraised value, hire another appraiser to get a second opinion, or just move on to another offer that isn’t contingent on the buyer getting a mortgage or an appraisal inspection.

The purpose of the home appraisal determines which party pays for it. You’re generally responsible for the cost if you need to know the current value of your home to refinance your mortgage, though in some instances the lender will pay for it. The buyer pays for the appraisal when they are applying for their mortgage.

Wainscoting isn’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’t. If you are on the fence about paneling, just know that it certainly wouldn’t result in depreciation of your home’s value—usually the opposite. 

Whether or not new windows increase property taxes depends on where you live and by how much your upgrade increases your home’s value. Smaller projects likely won’t result in increased property taxes, but it’s always a good idea to err on the side of caution and check. Contact your local county appraisal department for the most accurate information about property taxes in your area.
