What Is a Real Estate Appraisal?
A real estate appraisal is a formal, professional estimate of a property’s market value. It is conducted by a licensed appraiser who evaluates key factors such as the property’s condition, location, and recent sales of comparable properties. Appraisals are essential for ensuring that buyers, sellers, and lenders have an accurate understanding of a property's true worth.
Unlike a property assessment, which is done for tax purposes, an appraisal provides a current, market-based valuation. This independent assessment is crucial for a wide range of real estate transactions.
When You Might Need a Real Estate Appraisal
There are several situations where a real estate appraisal is necessary or highly beneficial:
-
Buying or Selling Property: Ensure that you are paying or receiving a fair price based on current market conditions.
-
Mortgage Approval: Lenders require an appraisal to determine the appropriate loan amount and to verify that the property’s value supports the mortgage.
-
Refinancing: When refinancing, an appraisal confirms the property’s current value to determine how much equity you have.
-
Investment Decisions: Investors use appraisals to assess the value of potential real estate purchases or portfolio assets.
-
Property Tax Appeals: If your tax assessment seems high, an appraisal can serve as proof of your property’s true value, helping you contest the assessment.
-
Divorce or Estate Settlements: An accurate appraisal is essential for dividing assets equitably in divorce or estate proceedings.
