"The diamond in my wedding ring was my mother's and it was in the original setting. I've been wanting to remount the diamond into a new ring setting for a long time and finally scheduled an appointment at Michael E. Minden. I am so glad that I did!! Their staff is incredibly professional and always so kind. They helped me keep the history of the diamond and gold from my old ring to transform it into the brand new wedding ring of my dreams!! I can now wear the materials that I inherited in a modern style that I enjoy. Thank you Michael E. Minden Diamond Jewelers!"

Antiques and Jewelry Appraisals questions, answered by experts

Ensures accurate valuation reflecting current market conditions, assisting in financial decisions.

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.

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.

While some aspects of an appraisal, such as comparable properties nearby, are out of your control, there are several steps you can take to potentially increase your home's value. Make any necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser's visit, as they can only value what is currently part of the home, not its potential. Examples include renovating older areas, updating landscaping to boost curb appeal, and staging your home. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades, which may increase your home's value by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.

If installing board and batten fixes an issue with the home, it could increase the value, but it isn’t commonly installed for that purpose. Board and batten is an aesthetic choice and, like most aesthetic choices, will do little to raise your home’s value. That being said, certain design elements can help attract more buyers, even if your home’s price won’t see a noticeable bump.
