Commonly Asked Home Appraisal Questions and Information
What is an Appraisal Report?
An appraisal report is an unbiased opinion of value based on the market on the effective date of the report. An appraisal is an unbiased estimation of what a buyer or seller can reasonably expect to pay or get for a particular piece of real estate, where all parties are informed. The evaluation report has to contain: a street map with the assessed property’s location and nearby sales. A drawing of a building’s exterior, An explanation of the methodology used to get the square footage. A front, rear, and street view of the subject house. Front shots of each comparable property being utilized. Other relevant information that was utilized to calculate the property’s fair market value, including market sales data, MLS, public land records, and public tax records. Most appraisers utilize the Fannie Mae URAR (Uniform Residential Appraisal Report) for single family appraisal reports. Most people look for a licensed, qualified appraiser to provide them the most reliable estimation of the real value of their property so that they may make an informed decision.
What Does the Appraiser Look For?
Current market trends and recent sales of comparable properties both have an impact on a property’s appraised worth. The amenities of the house, such as its square footage, usable floor layout, and number of bedrooms and bathrooms, are all important considerations. The appraiser must do a thorough visual assessment of both the inside and outside of the property and record any issues, including the need for repairs, that have a negative impact on the property’s worth. The appraiser then looks at similar homes within the same market area that have recently been sold. The appraiser then makes adjustment for the differences based on a market reaction. The appraiser also considers other factors including, but not limited to, the date of sale of the comparable homes, marketing time, the location of the homes, and other factors that could effect the opinion of value. The appraiser is not looking at the cleanliness of your home when doing the home inspection. Your personal items are not part of the appraisal report.
The Appraisal Inspection Process
The appraisal inspection process usually takes between 30 minutes and and hour on a typical sized home. It could take up to 2 hours if the home is large or there are a lot of complexities. The appraiser first measures the home from the exterior. If it is a condominium, it is measured from the interior. Then the appraiser will take exterior photos, and interior photos of every room of the home being appraised. After that, the appraiser will walk around the interior of the home, go thru a checklist, and draw a sketch, The appraiser will also take pictures of any damaged items that could affect the appraisers opinion of market value. Any outbuilding like sheds, barns, or detached structures such as garages, workshops are measured, as well as any decks, patio’s or/and porches. The best thing for a homeowner to do while the appraiser is completing the inspection is to let the appraiser completed the task without trying to converse with them while the inspection is taking place. The best thing to do would to get a piece of paper and write down all of the updates and upgraded features of your home. Also make a note of approximately when the updates and upgrades were completed. This includes the roof, the HVAC, the flooring, The appraisal process is pretty easy and straightforward for the person whos home is being inspected. Now that the easy part is done, Just sit back and wait for your appraisal report to come back. Depending on how busy we are, the appraisal typically comes back within 2-3 days. A rush service is available if needed.
