Frequently Asked Questions About Our Fifth Ward Area Real Estate Appraisal Services
Not necessarily. The appraiser will consider all relevant real estate data in the area. But when analyzing other recent sales, the appraiser generally will look for the homes most comparable to yours in terms of physical characteristics and the appeal of the location. In other words, the sales in your neighborhood might not make for the best comparisons if those homes are significantly less appealing. The appraiser may determine that the best for comparison home sales are in another neighborhood.
There are several reasons why new homes in a neighborhood will sell for more than a resale but the biggest is usually simple depreciation. While land does not depreciate in values – homes do. The materials and systems used in construction age with time and eventually need to be replaced. For example, appliances in a new home have their full functional life remaining as does the roof, a/c units, heaters, hot water tanks, etc. Conversely, a resale home that is only 4 years old still has four years of depreciation across all components and this must be factored into the appraisal. Lastly, new homes generally allow for some customizations to the home which means the buyers get exactly what they want upon move-in without needing to make changes.
This depends on your definition of “bad neighbor”. If a house next to yours is in disrepair, it could impact the desirability of your home in the eyes of a potential buyer. Appraisers must take these things, known as external obsolescences, into consideration when valuing a property. But the truth is, it will be very difficult for the appraiser to place a dollar amount on this feature, meaning they may only note it within the appraisal report but not actually deduct value.
Appraisers do not use Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com, etc. Appraisers pull their data from MLS. Appraisers can also use comps not sold through MLS if they are available, but ample documentation must be provided. Most appraisers are not fans of the online valuation sites due to their misleading and often outdated information. If you’re looking for a better way to ballpark sales data in your area, try searching the local MLS for active and pending listings.
