What Makes a House More Valuable for Appraisal?
A home appraisal is conducted by a professional in order to determine the home’s existing value. Homeowners looking to sell naturally want a high appraisal, since it ups their asking price and puts more money in their pockets. They may also want one in order to refinance their mortgage more favorably. Appraisers factor a number of variables into their calculations, some of which the homeowner can control and some of which he can’t.
