How do Appraisers determine the value of your House?
Appraisers use the Sales Comparison Approach to determine current market value of your home. The Sales Comparison Approach involves collecting information on recently closed homes (Ideally sales that have closed within the past 90 days) that are similar to the house being appraised. We select comparable homes that are the most similar to the home being appraised in terms of location, livable area (SqFt Under A/C), room count, age, condition, upgrades, site size, view (Lake, Golf Course, Ocean, Etc.) and amenities such as a pool and/or garage. We find these recently closed comparable sales by researching the M.L.S. also known as the Multiple Listing Service (This is the Realtors System used to sell real estate) and Tax Records. From this research we narrow down the recently closed sales too at least three comparable sales which are the most similar to the home being appraised and put the comparable sales into the appraisal report. Positive and negative adjustments are made to the comparable sales for differences between the home being appraised and the comparable sales (Such as for Condition, Upgrades & Livable Area). From this we get the adjusted sales prices of the comparable sales and the appraiser reconciles these adjusted values to determines the final estimate of value.
Steps the Real Estate Appraiser takes to determine estimated value:
-
Research the market to obtain information pertaining to sales, listings, pending sales that are similar to the subject property.
-
Investigate the market data to determine whether they are factually correct and accurate.
-
Determine relevant Homes of comparison, and develop a comparative analysis for each.
-
Compare the house being appraised to comparable home sales according to the elements of comparison and adjust as appropriate.
-
Reconcile the multiple value indications that result from the adjustment of the comparable sales into a single value indication.
As a rule of thumb, the appraised value of the house being appraised should be somewhere between the sale prices and the adjusted values of the comparable sales used in this report. Please feel free to call us at 866-533-7173 if you would like a further explanation on real estate appraising.
