What is a residential appraisal?
A residential appraisal is an unbiased, professional opinion of a property’s market value based on comparable sales, property characteristics, and current market conditions.
What factors influence value?
Appraisers consider location, size, condition, upgrades, layout, and recent comparable sales. Market trends and supply and demand also play a key role in determining value.
Appraisal vs inspection
An appraisal determines value, while a home inspection evaluates condition and identifies potential issues.
The appraiser inspects the interior and exterior, measures the home, takes photos, and documents condition and features. This typically takes 30–60 minutes.
How do I prepare?
Ensure access to all areas, provide a list of upgrades, and complete any minor repairs if possible. Cleanliness is helpful but not required.
How is square footage calculated?
Square footage is measured using ANSI standards, which provide consistent guidelines for calculating and reporting living area.
When do you need one?
Appraisals are used for buying, selling, divorce, estate settlement, refinancing, tax appeals, and investment decisions.
