I would hope it’s never an appraisers intention to “lower a house value” that’s not warranted ..

As many of us lived through the housing market crash of the early 2000’s, people may be hesitant to refinance or purchase a home as that fear of crashing may happen again.

Don’t let fear keep you from getting your dream house!

Solar panels! A huge question in relation to Real Estate Appraisals. There is a big difference between leasing vs owning.

OWNED solar panels are given market value as reflected in the market area. Most purchases will require the solar panels to be paid off if involved in a purchase.
Make sure to know the details of your solar decisions when asked by your Appraisal professional.
