FAQs
What is a home appraisal?
A residential appraisal is a formal opinion of value of a property. It is conducted by a certified appraiser who evaluates the property’s condition, location, features, and comparable sales in the area.
Why would I need a home appraisal?
Home appraisals are necessary for various reasons, including buying or selling a home, refinancing a mortgage, settling an estate, determining property taxes, or handling legal matters like divorce settlements.
How is an appraisal different from a home inspection?
An appraisal estimates the value of a property and takes its condition into consideration, while a home inspection assesses the physical condition of the home, identifying potential issues such as structural damage or system failures. A home inspection typically has a more thorough physical inspection of a residence. Both are important but serve different purposes.
Why do I need an appraiser?
A certified appraiser provides an objective, expert evaluation of your property’s value. Their report is essential for lenders, buyers, sellers, or legal entities requiring an accurate assessment of your home’s worth.
How do I know if an appraiser is certified?
A certified appraiser would be a member of a governing body, such as the Appraisal Institute of Canada (AIC). The AIC has two designations: Accredited Appraiser Canadian Institute (AACI) & Canadian Residential Appraiser (CRA).
How is a home’s value determined?
The value is determined by examining the property’s size, condition, age, location, upgrades, and features. There are a variety of positive and negative influences that may affect value. The appraiser also compares recent sales of similar properties in the area relative to the property being appraised to ensure accuracy.
