Land doesn’t depreciate in the same way that a house, vehicle, or other property does, but it can lose value based on various factors.

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

The purpose of the home appraisal determines which party pays for it. You’re generally responsible for the cost if you need to know the current value of your home to refinance your mortgage, though in some instances the lender will pay for it.
