Should I skip a home appraisal?

• <div><p>As a seller, it might feel tempting to skip the appraisal, especially in a hot market that sees a lot of all-cash offers. While you can technically forgo it and hope for an all-cash offer, you’ll likely have a very tough time selling without an appraisal. </p><p>In addition to protecting lenders from risk, appraisals also protect buyers’ investments. As such, it isn’t typically recommended for buyers to skip appraisals.</p></div>

Q: Will a stamped concrete patio increase my property value?

• <div><p>In many cases, a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/stamped-concrete-adds-affordable-appeal-outdoor-patios.htm">stamped concrete patio</a> will make your property more valuable. Not only will you and your family likely enjoy it, but many buyers will adore the appearance and utility it brings to your yard and might be willing to pay a premium for it. Stamped concrete is also highly durable and can last a long time with proper care, and it&rsquo;s relatively easy and affordable to repair. Savvy buyers should understand these upsides, which could increase interest in your property overall.</p></div>

Q: What causes the cost of homeowners insurance to increase?

• <div><p>Insurance companies weigh the amount of potential liabilities on your property to increase (or decrease) the cost of your home insurance. They will use several factors to decide if there are more chances for peril or injury to take place at your home. These factors include your location (whether you live in an area with high risk for natural disasters), the age and condition of your home, and whether you have any &ldquo;attractive nuisances&rdquo;&mdash;features that both increase the aesthetic of your home and potential for injury&mdash;like a pool or treehouse. </p></div>
