What happens if the appraisal is lower than the offer?

• <div><p>If the value of the home you want to buy is appraised at less than the price of the offer, you may not be able to obtain a loan for the offer amount. Lenders want to ensure that the amount they’re lending isn’t more than the market value of the property, so you may have to increase your down payment to reduce the loan amount or get a second appraisal if you still want to proceed with the purchase.</p></div>

Q: Do weeds affect home appraisal?

• <div><p>Yes, if your home is poorly maintained and has weeds and overgrowth, it can affect your home appraisal and lower the value. Home buyers want to see a well-kept home, and if yours lacks curb appeal whether inundated by weeds or not, you could be neglecting the potential for it to reach its full value. </p></div>

Q: Does a deck add value to a home?

• <div><p>Adding a deck to your home will increase its overall value. Per <a href="https://www.remodeling.hw.net/cost-vs-value/2023/"><i>Remodeling</i></a><i> </i>magazine's 2023 Cost vs. Value Report, building a deck is a top 15 home improvement task. Installing a wooden deck has an average return on investment (ROI) of 52%, while building a composite deck offers almost 40% ROI. The amount of value a deck adds to your home depends on deck size, type, material, age, and how well you maintain it.</p></div>

Q: How can I make sure my property gets the highest appraisal possible?

• <div><p>While parts of the appraisal are out of your control, there are some things you can do to potentially raise the home&rsquo;s value. You can make necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser visits&mdash;an appraiser can only value what is currently part of the home, not its potential. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades. The appraiser will likely increase the value of your home by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.</p></div>

Q: Does stucco increase home value?

• <div><p>Much like any new siding, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-stucco-increase-home-value.htm">stucco will increase home value</a> and curb appeal. Stucco provides an average ROI of 70%. With the average cost to stucco a house sitting at $5,700, you can expect to see a value bump of close to $4,000. Opting for a high-end stucco texture can improve value even further. </p></div>

"So, my wife and I had it in our minds to stop paying someone else’s mortgage and start paying our own. After getting approved by the VA for a home loan (sidenote, that as an amazing experience from start to finish… I’ve heard horror stories about VA loans, but my experience could not have been anything more to the contrary. Even after the account was closed my Loan Officer Justin Darr still takes my calls if I have any questions.) they set me up with Summer Woods and I can’t even begin to tell you how grateful I am that they did. At first, I made a request of a few specific things that my wife and I wanted in a house, but it was just not possible in my location… Next step was to have a house built. Keep in mind that this is not only our fist home but out first home being built and in the current economy that’s a pretty anxiety inducing feeling, well, it would have been had Summer not been there with us. At no point in time was there an unreasonable delay in response to a question (weekend or not) or a question that may have seemed too silly. Literally, Summer was there at every step ensuring that we got the best deal on every point possible. Summer is amazingly nice and was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout this entire adventure… to us I mean, don’t get it confused, if it looks like someone is trying to get one over on her while trying to game the situation you will be called out and without any sort of clemency. In short, if I should ever be looking to buy another home or if anyone I like happens to be doing just that my first bit of advice will be handing them Summer Woods contact information with a simple “you’re welcome.”"
