Welcome to our new series! ABC's of Real Estate!

So let's kick it off with "A is for Appraisal"

An appraisal is an unbiased estimate of a home's value, done by a licensed appraiser. It's usually ordered by the buyer's lender to make sure the home is worth the amount the lender is being asked to loan.

The appraiser looks at the home's condition, size, and features, then compares it to similar homes that recently sold nearby. If the appraisal comes in lower than the agreed price, the buyer and seller may need to renegotiate or the buyer may need to bring extra cash to close.

An appraisal is not a home inspection! This is often misunderstood.

Did you know the appraisal process and what they evaluate are undergoing major changes?

Call us to get with one of our professionals and discuss what to expect soon, whether buying or selling.

Thinking about selling and wondering if the kitchen needs a remodel? Most of the time, no.

Before you spend a dime on new cabinets or counters, try the small things buyers notice first:

👉 Fresh, neutral paint
👉 New cabinet hardware
👉 A deep clean (inside the cabinets and appliances too)
👉Clear the counters so the space feels bigger

A full remodel rarely pays you back dollar for dollar. Every kitchen is different, though, so call our office and let one of our professionals walk through your house with you before spend anything! 📲 501-500-HOME

No pressure just a friendly second opinion. 🙂

🧡 Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day! 🧡

YOUR FRIENDLY REMINDER:

We’ve already trained on this twice over the past year—because we believe staying informed means being better prepared for the people we serve. 🏡

Big changes are coming to the appraisal process this fall, and they could affect how a home’s square footage, condition, accessory spaces, solar features and overall value are reported and reviewed by lenders.

For sellers, these aren’t just technical changes. They could affect underwriting, required repairs, timelines and even how certain areas of a home are counted.

That’s why our agents at NextHome Local Realty Group have been preparing well in advance. If you’re thinking about selling this fall, we want to understand the changes before your home hits the market—not learn about them in the middle of your transaction.

Prepared agents make for better-prepared sellers. 🧡
