Frequently Asked Questions About Our Friendswood Real Estate Appraisal Services
An appraiser will review recently sold and actively listed homes in your market area as part of the sale comparison approach. The appraiser will choose the most similar homes and place them in what is known as the comparison grid portion of the appraisal. There, adjustments are made for differences between comparables and the subject property. The purpose of the market approach is to use comparable sales, adjusted against the subject for differences, to determine a reasonable appraisal value for the subject property.
Comparables sales are usually those which a buyer would consider instead of the subject property, meaning they should be similar in appeal. The appraisal value is heavily based on the sales comparison approach for most residential properties, making comp selection a very important aspect of the process. Much time is spent by the appraiser searching for and reviewing all possible comparables to determine those which are the best indicators of a comparable sale.
While the appraisal value you receive is good “as of” the date of the appraisal, values change as the market changes. The opinion of value could be accurate for a few weeks to a few months depending on market conditions in the area. For lending situations your bank will not accept any comparable sales that are older than 6 months. Most appraisers and lenders agree three months is the maximum amount of time that an appraisal holds a valid value, referred to as the “term of validity.”
An appraisal contingency protects the buyer by giving them an “out” of the contract should the home not appraise (i.e. the value of the home comes in lower than the sales price). Example: if a property is under contract for $300,000 and the appraisal comes in at $290,000, then the buyer has the option (in addition to other contingencies) to exit the deal and recoup any earnest money.
No. Only home inspectors would be required to physically examine the roof. If they believe that a roof may need additional review they will notate it on the appraisal report. If the appraiser finds that the roof may not be in acceptable condition, they will be required to note it within their report.
