Q: How can I make sure my property gets the highest appraisal possible?

• <div><p>While parts of the appraisal are out of your control, there are some things you can do to potentially raise the home&rsquo;s value. You can make necessary repairs and upgrades before the appraiser visits&mdash;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.</p></div>

Q: Will land ever lose value?

• <div><p>Land doesn&rsquo;t depreciate in the same way that a house, vehicle, or other property does, but it can lose value based on various factors. Environmental changes, nearby development, zoning changes, and economic downturns can all cause land to lose value over time. Value is a comparative figure, so as other related factors change, so can land&rsquo;s value. </p></div>

Q: What factors affect audit costs?

• <div><p>Costs depend on the property size, audit complexity, and whether additional testing (e.g., blower door) is included.</p></div>

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: What factors do professionals consider in appraisals?

• <div><p>Property condition, comparables, market trends, and location influence appraisal.</p></div>
