Q: Do home appraisers look at windows?

• <div><p>Yes, home appraisers look at your windows when appraising your property to determine the market value of your home.

Q: Does wainscoting add value to a home?

• <div><p>Wainscoting isn&rsquo;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&rsquo;t. If you are on the fence about paneling, just know that it certainly wouldn&rsquo;t result in depreciation of your home&rsquo;s value&mdash;usually the opposite. </p></div>

Q: How long does an FHA appraisal take?

After the appraiser&rsquo;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&rsquo;s workload, research requirements, efficiency, and other factors.</p></div>

Q: What factors affect audit costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on the property size, audit complexity, and whether additional testing (e.g., blower door) is included.</p></div>

Q: Do basketball hoops raise property value?

• <div><p>While there's not a lot of definite research, some experts suggest that an in-ground or wall-mounted basketball hoop can add value to your home by increasing curb appeal. In addition, having a basketball hoop is an attractive feature of a house since it promotes physical activity, especially for children. </p></div>
