What is a home appraisal?<\/h2>\n

An appraisal is simply a written document indicating a professional\u2019s opinion of the value of your home at a specific time, given market conditions. In order to determine your home\u2019s worth<\/a>, an appraiser conducts a walk-through inspection of the home and then examines the sale prices of comparable homes<\/a> (comps) in your area.<\/p>\n

The appraiser then documents the details of the home\u2019s condition and amenities, providing research and reasons for their valuation using the Uniform Residential Appraisal Report<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
