Nothing stings like a low appraisal — but it’s fixable. I’m Dennis Loewen with North and Main Homes, and here are five common reasons and how to avoid them.
-
Outdated Comps
Appraisers may use older or less relevant data; provide better ones.
-
Unique Features
Custom work sometimes isn’t reflected in comps — point it out.
-
Market Shifts
Rapid price growth can outpace appraisals.
-
Deferred Maintenance
Visible wear lowers value perception.
-
Missing Info
If your agent doesn’t highlight upgrades, the appraiser might miss them.
Prepare by giving the appraiser a feature sheet and supporting comps before the visit.
