"I recommend the Diamond Exchange in Rockville for their fair prices for buying gold. I checked other businesses in the region and Diamond Exchange’s purchase price was the highest. They gave me $3 more per gram than what I would have gotten elsewhere. I worked with Keith Grymes, and he was very professional and competent. I highly recommend!"

Antiques and Jewelry Appraisals questions, answered by experts

In most cases, installing a tennis court on your property will drive up your property taxes. Property taxes are determined, in part, based on improvements made to your property, which includes anything with a permanent foundation. Since most home tennis courts include a large concrete foundation, your property taxes will likely increase following the installation. A general rule of thumb is that if your project requires permits—like for a foundation or fencing for a tennis court—then your property taxes will be affected.

An FHA appraisal is valid for 180 days from the effective date of the report. In some cases, you can have the appraisal recertified if you make your request before the original expires so that you still may obtain an FHA loan. If approved, your appraisal update is valid for one year.

Foundation cracks won’t always affect your appraised value. All foundations crack due to normal settlement, so hairline cracks that aren’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.

Home and property appraisals cost about $355 on average, ranging from $250 to $500, depending on the size of the home and property, age of the property, comparability to nearby homes, and location. While single-family homes typically cost between $300 and $400 to appraise, multi-family home appraisal can cost $500 to $1,000 due to the increased size and building complexity.

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.
