What Is
Appraised Value?
It’s an objective opinion of value, but it’s not
an exact science so appraisals may differ.
For buying and selling purposes, appraisals are
usually based on market value—what the property could probably be sold
for. Other types of value include insurance value, replacement value,
and assessed value for property tax purposes.
Appraised value is not a constant number. Changes
in market conditions can dramatically alter appraised value.
Appraised value doesn’t consider special
considerations, like the need to sell rapidly.
Lenders usually use either the appraised value or
the sale price, whichever is less, to determine the amount of the
mortgage they will offer.
