Property Appraiser questions, answered by experts

Yes, a tennis court can potentially add significant value to your home. The increase can be anywhere from $20,000 to $150,000.

While parts of the appraisal are out of your control, there are some things you can do to potentially raise the home’s value. You can make necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser visits—an appraiser can only value what is currently part of the home, not its potential. You can also provide the appraiser with the cost of recent upgrades. The appraiser will likely increase the value of your home by about 50% or more of what you paid for those improvements.

A property valuation, sometimes called a comparative market analysis or CMA, provides a real estate expert’s opinion on how much your property will sell for. It takes many things into consideration, like the condition and location of the home, but ultimately, all that matters for a property valuation is what a buyer might be willing to pay for the property. An appraisal is more concerned with determining the value. A valuation is to estimate what you’ll get for a property, while an appraisal helps a lender establish loan-to-value ratios and loan amounts.

The entire appraisal process takes from seven to 10 days. This timeline accounts for the many steps of the appraisal process, including the post-inspection report completed by the appraiser.

Home appraisal services include the following tasks:

  • Inspect home interior and exterior

  • Evaluate materials, features, fixtures, and renovations

  • Review comparable properties

  • Write an appraisal report

The cost ranges from $300 to $500, depending on the property's size and location. Due to their complexity, commercial appraisals may cost more.
