Q: Does mixing siding types affect home value?

• <div><p>Yes, mixing siding types will affect your home value, and in most cases, it will improve curb appeal and add to the value of your home. This is especially true if you get the benefit of the high-end appearance of brick or stone siding but save on siding costs by covering most of the exterior with more affordable vinyl or fiber cement.</p></div>

Q: How much is an average house in Hawaii?

• <div><p>Currently, the average house in Hawaii is around $830,000, with prices having risen over the last five years. Some areas, like Honolulu or Ewa Beach, are a bit less expensive, but others, like Waimanalo and Pearl City, drive up the average price.</p></div>

Q: How long is an FHA appraisal good for?

• <div><p>An FHA appraisal is valid for 180 days from the effective date of the report. In some cases, you can have the appraisal recertified if you make your request before the original expires so that you still may obtain an FHA loan. If approved, your appraisal update is valid for one year.</p></div>

Q: What if I can’t find any records of when my house was built?

• <div><p>If you can&rsquo;t find any records online, you&rsquo;ll need to contact your county clerk&rsquo;s office to do further research. They should have property records on file, or can at least point you in the right direction of who to contact. You can also speak with your neighbors about when their houses were built because they were likely built around the same time. </p></div>
