Does your yard affect an appraisal?

• <div><p>The condition and appearance of your yard can affect your home appraisal value. A well-maintained, attractive yard with curb appeal adds to a property’s value, while an overgrown, messy, poorly maintained yard can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-hurts-home-appraisal.htm">hurt your home’s appraisal</a>. Even small cosmetic improvements to your yard, like adding mulch, trimming trees, and cleaning out plant beds, can help your appraisal value.</p></div>

Can you negotiate an as-is purchase?

• <div><p>You may be able to negotiate an as-is purchase, but many sellers who list their homes as-is aren’t willing to lower their asking price since they’ve already accounted for the price of repairs. Homes are often listed as-is for a quick sale, so there’s a chance a seller may negotiate in order to make the sale—it never hurts to ask. </p></div>

Q: Does LVP increase home value?

• <div><p>While LVP won&rsquo;t increase home value as much as engineered hardwood, it can increase the value somewhat because it creates a warm and inviting aesthetic. It&rsquo;s also durable and waterproof, so it can be appealing to homebuyers with pets and children. LVP is very low-maintenance, so that can also appeal to homebuyers who don&rsquo;t want to spend a lot of time keeping up with an engineered or solid hardwood floor. </p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a home inspection and home appraisal?

• <div><p>The main <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/whats-included-home-inspection-report.htm">purpose of a home inspection is</a> to assess the overall condition of a home. It looks at major systems, like electrical and plumbing, and considers the long-term safety of the home. In contrast, a home appraisal sets out to estimate a home&rsquo;s fair market value, often for lending purposes. At about $350, a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-home-appraisal-cost.htm">home appraisal costs</a> about the same as an average home inspection. </p></div>

Q: Do fireplaces increase your home’s value?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-fireplaces-make-your-home-value-hot.htm">Fireplaces increase your home&rsquo;s value</a> by as much as 12%. If you're looking to increase your home's value, consider installing an electric fireplace insert or a custom electric fireplace. You can take freestanding or wall-mounted fireplaces with you when you leave, so they will have less of an impact on the value of the home.</p></div>
