Q: Can I be present during the home appraisal?

• <div><p>You can be present during a home appraisal, but it&rsquo;s best to stay out of the appraiser&rsquo;s way. Make yourself available, but don&rsquo;t engage or interrupt, and don&rsquo;t discuss value or your target sales price. If possible, have your agent present in the house instead of being present yourself.</p></div>

Q: How long is an FHA appraisal good for?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Can xeriscaping increase your home value?

• <div><p>Xeriscaping can absolutely increase your home value, but the return on investment (ROI) depends on where you live and how prevalent xeriscaping is in your area. In drought-prone climates, xeriscaping can boost your curb appeal and make your home more appealing to buyers due to the reduced maintenance and watering costs. However, in areas where xeriscaping isn&rsquo;t the norm, some buyers may be willing to pay less for a xeriscaped property if they don&rsquo;t like the appearance.</p></div>

Q: How much do you lose selling a house as-is?

• <div><p>In most cases, selling a home in as-is condition will lead to a sale price that&rsquo;s somewhere between 10% and 30% lower than normal. However, it&rsquo;s often worthwhile to sell at a loss because the alternative would be to pay for the repairs yourself, which could end up costing you more. Even if they didn&rsquo;t, selling as-is saves you from the time and energy you&rsquo;d spend coordinating the repairs.</p></div>
