Can I use an appraisal to get homeowners insurance?

• <div><p>Your home insurance company may allow you to use an appraisal instead of an inspection when you apply for coverage. Keep in mind that despite this, an appraisal is far less detailed than the different <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-home-inspections.htm">types of home inspections</a> available and may not reveal potential risks that you’ll want to know about. </p></div>

• <div><p>They provide objective, third-party valuation, guiding fair sales or purchase prices.</p></div>

Q: How much do you lose selling a house as-is?

• <div><p>In most cases, selling a home in as-is condition will lead to a sale price that&rsquo;s somewhere between 10% and 30% lower than normal. However, it&rsquo;s often worthwhile to sell at a loss because the alternative would be to pay for the repairs yourself, which could end up costing you more. Even if they didn&rsquo;t, selling as-is saves you from the time and energy you&rsquo;d spend coordinating the repairs.</p></div>

Q: Does a flagpole increase property value?

• <div><p>Installing a flagpole can improve your home&rsquo;s curb appeal, so it will often have a modest positive impact on your property value. You&rsquo;ll see a much larger bump in property value if you install a custom wooden flagpole than you would if you install a standard aluminum pole. Adding lighting to your flagpole will also have a positive impact on home value, as will <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/helpful-tips-pruning-trees.htm">trimming trees</a> away from the new lawn addition.</p></div>
