What is a Real Estate Appraisal?
A real estate appraisal is an expert opinion of a property’s value at a specific point in time. It’s based on factors like location, size, condition, and what similar homes in the area are selling for. Unlike online estimates of your property’s worth, which can be off by as much as 30%, an appraisal conducted by a licensed real estate appraiser is much more accurate. It’s also often required by lenders, the courts, the IRS, and more.
