Understanding the Home Appraisal Process
 
A home appraisal is a required part of the loan process, and is conducted by a certified appraiser who evaluates and determines the property's fair market value.

The appraiser's report includes a detailed look at the home's general condition and a review of the surrounding area.

Since housing markets fluctuate—as do home values—appraisers rely heavily on recent home sales within the last six months in the local area to determine fair market values. Location, structural improvements, size and amenities are some other factors that are also considered.

For buyers, appraisals can be a safeguard to ensure that a home's sales price is reasonable.

For sellers, appraisals also take into consideration any improvements and upgrades, as well as the land's value.

It is important to note that appraisal guidelines are dictated by legal requirements as well as the type of loan being issued. The appraiser's job is to provide an objective, impartial and unbiased assessment of the property's fair market value.
