Q: Does home automation increase your property value?

• <div><p>In most cases, you can expect home automation to boost your home value. This technology makes the homeowner&rsquo;s life easier and more comfortable, and some provide increased safety and protection. Buyers will likely recognize value in security systems and utility monitors, as well as comfort-focused upgrades that save on electric bills while keeping interior rooms at the desired temperature and humidity. On average, you can expect a <b>50% and 75%</b> return on investment on home automation services, and potentially even more if the automation reduces homeowner&rsquo;s insurance.</p></div>

Q: How do I get the highest appraisal possible?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Is a conventional loan the same as an FHA loan?

• <div><p>Both conventional loans and FHA loans are types of mortgages, but they have a few key differences. Conventional loans are backed by private lenders without any government backing, and FHA loans are guaranteed by a government agency. FHA loans are designed to be easier for borrowers with low credit scores or income to qualify for.</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: Do sellers usually lower their asking price after the appraisal?

• <div><p>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, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-find-home-appraiser.htm">hire another appraiser</a> to get a second opinion, or just move on to another offer that isn&rsquo;t contingent on the buyer getting a mortgage or an appraisal inspection.</p></div>
