What is a Home Loan Appraisal?

A home loan appraisal is an objective assessment of the fair market value of a property. It is conducted by a licensed appraiser who inspects the property and compares it with similar properties in the area. The appraiser considers various factors such as the size, condition, location, features, and amenities of the property, as well as the recent sales and market trends in the neighborhood. The appraiser then prepares a detailed report that summarizes the findings and provides an opinion of value.
