"After my wife and I sent the initial appraiser a 5-6 page request for reconsideration as we felt his opinion on the value of our home was quite low, the appraiser removed himself. Lynn from AA Appraisals then came in and appraised our home. She was professional, thorough and looked at/factored things that the previous appraiser did not. The appraisal report Lynn sent us was extremely detailed. I highly recommend AA Appraisals."

"Mr. Spitzer was very professional and friendly. I was very anxious about getting my parent's home appraised, but Mr. Spitzer allayed my anxiety by explaining the appraisal process and being totally non-judgemental....the house is not in the best condition, so that was a concern of mine. I totally recommend and will hire Mr. Spitzer for the appraisal of my own home!"

Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

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’s real estate market and the specifics of the basement and how it was finished. 

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.

The cost to appraise a home depends on the type. Common types include:

  • Single-family homes: $300–$400

  • FHA or VA single-family homes: $400–$500

  • Condominium: $300–$500

  • Multi-family home: $500–$1,000

  • Apartment building: $1,500–$3,000

  • Commercial properties: $1,400–$10,000

  • Raw land: $1,000–$8,000

Ideally, you’d never pay more than the appraised value for a home, but there are some instances where it makes sense to do so. For example, if your current living arrangements are no longer viable and you need a place to move into quickly, paying more than the appraised value might be in your best interest to secure a new home. Additionally, if you’re buying in a hot market, overpaying for the home might be necessary to overcome the competition.

Foundation cracks won’t always affect your appraised value. All foundations crack due to normal settlement, so hairline cracks that aren’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.
