Sellers Should Dispute Low Appraisals on Their Homes
Briefly

Home appraisals are essential for accurately determining a property’s market value, especially once the home is put on the market. Low appraisals can occur due to market fluctuations, the property's condition compared to local homes, and previous overpayments during bidding wars. Factors like climate zones and energy-efficient upgrades also influence appraisal outcomes. Understanding these dynamics can help homeowners address potential appraisal issues, ensuring that their property is perceived fairly by potential buyers and lenders.
"Market shifts like those we've experienced over the last few years can impact home values, as well as the condition of your property compared to others in the area."
"When the market is hot, it isn't uncommon to see appraisals that are lower than the sales price-and sometimes by a big number. No one wants to overpay for something that will continue to have a higher cost over the years."
