Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Depending on the size of the home, the appraisal itself can take several hours. After the appraiser’s visit is complete, it can take between a few days and a few weeks to get the report back. This timeline is largely dependent on the appraiser’s workload, research requirements, efficiency, and other factors.

Appraisals are not mandatory but are helpful for pricing accuracy and negotiation purposes.

Wainscoting isn’t a design element that can be directly tied to an increased house price. Despite that, it is a highly marketable element that can generate significant interest from potential buyers who enjoy the style, and is relatively inexpensive to remove for those who don’t. If you are on the fence about paneling, just know that it certainly wouldn’t result in depreciation of your home’s value—usually the opposite. 

To get the highest appraisal value possible for your home, make any necessary repairs and updates prior to the appraisal. Some examples of tasks include updating landscaping to boost curb appeal, renovate older areas of the home, and consider staging your home. Keep in mind that some aspects of the appraisal are out of your control, such as comparable properties nearby.

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.
