Frequently Asked Questions About Our Meyerland Area Real Estate Appraisal Services
The appraisal is a research intensive process whereby an appraiser reviews general and specific data, extracts relevant information, and uses this in his/her analysis to determine an estimate of value. The process has six major steps which include: definition of the problem, preliminary survey and appraisal plan, data collection and analysis, application of the three approaches to value, reconciliations of value indications, final estimate of defined value. Common to most all appraisals is the determination of applicable approaches to value which include Market Data, Cost and Income. All approaches which are utilized are reconciled and deduced down to a single estimate of value which represents the most likely value for the property. In most instances, the market data approach is the best representation of buyer and seller influences in the market and relied upon heavily in residential appraisals.
Every appraisal will include an effective date which indicates the day the estimated value was determined to be valid. The speed at which changes in home values occur in your market area determines how long an appraisal value is valid. Under most loan guidelines appraisals do not have a set expiration period; however, because lenders want comps that are no more than six months past, an appraisal should be no more than six months old. The typically accepted “expiration” period for an appraisal is 60 days.
A comp can be a sale, pending sale or a listing that is similar to the subject based on typical parameters of size, age, condition and location. 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. It is the appraiser’s responsibility to adequately research the local real estate market and determine which comparable sales best represent the value characteristics of the subject property.
Appraisers will only need attic access if performing the appraisal for FHA loans. If possible, make the first few feet around the attic entrance accessible so that the appraiser may enter the attic and perform a visual inspection. If attic access is not possible or limited by obstructions, the appraiser can opt to perform a “head and shoulders” only inspection and note this in his report.
Real estate appraisal is a highly regulated field with many fees, licensing, insurance, and continuing education costs that an appraiser pays annually to stay in compliance. Appraising real estate is actually very skilled work that is hard to do and requires hours of labor to complete a full appraisal. There are no “templates” and each property is unique plus it must be compared to the current market. This means that even if the appraiser has performed an appraisal on a similar home, he still must review all of the data within the present window of time to determine an accurate current value.
