Q: Do foundation cracks affect your appraisal?

• <div><p>Foundation cracks won&rsquo;t always affect your appraised value. All foundations crack due to normal settlement, so hairline cracks that aren&rsquo;t leaking or uneven from side to side are unlikely to have an impact on your appraisal. Structural cracks, on the other hand, often lead to a reduced appraised value, especially if the underlying problem will cause the issue to worsen over time.</p></div>

Q: Should you ever pay more than the appraised value for a home?

• <div><p>Ideally, you&rsquo;d never pay more than the appraised value for a home, but there are some instances where it makes sense to do so. For example, if your current living arrangements are no longer viable and you need a place to move into quickly, paying more than the appraised value might be in your best interest to secure a new home. Additionally, if you&rsquo;re buying in a hot market, overpaying for the home might be necessary to overcome the competition.</p></div>

Q: Does not having a fireplace decrease home value?

• <div><p>It depends on the location of the home and, more particularly, the region&rsquo;s climate. For example, a Florida homeowner can rest assured they won&rsquo;t lose money at resale if their home doesn&rsquo;t have a fireplace. However, buyers in Minnesota or other northern states known for frigid winters might offer a lower price if the home doesn&rsquo;t come equipped with another way to stay warm.</p></div>

Q: Does a garage add value to your property?

• <div><p>Having a garage installed certainly adds to the value of your home. The consideration is not whether it adds value, but for many, they want to know if adding a garage yields a return on their investment or ROI. While garages can add anywhere from 5% to 20% of the total value of your property, that doesn&rsquo;t mean that they return 5% to 20% of the money invested in building them. Most homeowners build garages for a purpose but know that you can recover your investment when you sell or refinance. </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>

They did so,so. They do carpet cleaning. I don't think they did as good as they have done in the past. I don't know if they were just in a hurry. They did okay, but usually they go above and beyond, but they did not seem to. We have a big house, but we don't have that much carpet in it. Only...

He was recommended to us from a friend. He does mostly concrete work. His price was reasonable. Our house was built in 1909 and so some of the pilings underneath it were disintegrating. He's a very nice guy and very personable. We’ve seen some of his other work that he's done and it's...
