THE SHORT ANSWER
A single-family home appraisal develops an opinion of value for a defined intended use and effective date. The analysis considers the home, relevant comparable sales and local market conditions; the scope and report are confirmed for each assignment.
What a single-family appraisal considers
The appraiser researches the subject property, its relevant characteristics and comparable market evidence. The approach and report detail depend on the assignment’s intended use, effective date, property access and available information.
When homeowners request an appraisal
Owners may need an appraisal for a private valuation, estate matter, divorce or another defined purpose. For a purchase or refinance, the lender usually determines how a lending appraisal is ordered. Share the purpose before work begins so the scope can be discussed.
