What is Appraised Value?

If you would like a Free/No Obligation property analysis, text the property address to 210-378-5987 and ask for a CMA (Comparative Market Analyis). I’ll forward an estimated price range for the property within 24 hours.

A CMA is not an Appraisal, but it will help gauge the market in your neighborhood.

  • Appraisals provide 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 take into account 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.
