🏡 Real Estate Vocabulary: Appraisal 🔎💰

An appraisal is a professional evaluation of a property's market value, conducted by a licensed appraiser. This process helps lenders determine how much money they can safely loan to buyers based on the home’s true worth.

🔹 Why does an appraisal matter?
✅ Ensures buyers don’t overpay for a home
✅ Helps lenders mitigate risk before approving a mortgage
✅ Can impact financing terms or require renegotiation

A low appraisal can delay or even derail a home purchase, while a high appraisal gives buyers and sellers confidence in their investment. Need more insight on how appraisals affect home sales? Let’s chat! 📩
