Can a seller negotiate after an appraisal?

• <div><p>In most cases, no, a seller cannot negotiate after an appraisal if they signed an offer agreement. The only exception would be if there was a contingency in the offer that stated that the offer acceptance was contingent on the appraisal amount. If that’s the case, the seller can negotiate a higher sale price to match the appraised amount. If the appraised amount comes in below the sale price, both sides have to agree to negotiate, but there may be no other option since the buyer’s lender might not approve the higher amount.</p></div>

Q: Does a home sauna increase the home value?

• <div><p>Having a sauna at home may be considered a luxury to some homebuyers, which can give you a good return on investment. This, however, depends on the homebuyers. Some may not want to spend the extra time and cost of heating and maintaining a sauna.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a home inspection and home appraisal?

• <div><p>The main <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/whats-included-home-inspection-report.htm">purpose of a home inspection is</a> to assess the overall condition of a home.

Q: How do appraisers adjust for a finished basement?

• <div><p>While a finished basement adds value to your home, it is assigned a different value than space on the main floors. An appraiser will assess the square footage of a finished basement at about 50% to 60% of the value of the square footage for the rest of your home. Appraisal value for a finished basement depends on your location&rsquo;s real estate market and the specifics of the basement and how it was finished. </p></div>

Q: Does an awning add value to a house?

• <div><p>Although the exact return on your investment will depend on the size, style, and quality of your awning, in general, awnings do add resale value to a house by providing more usable space. If an awning doesn&rsquo;t do much in the way of monetary gains due to its low installation costs, it promises to provide an excellent appeal factor to a potential home buyer. </p></div>

Janna marketed the condo effectively, communicating well and managing all the details smoothly and confidently. It was sold at a good price in very few weeks. She oversaw some needed repairs and the donation of unwanted "turnkey" furnishings to save me extra trips.
