When selling your house, the home appraisal happens after both you and the buyer have settled on the buyer’s offer and sign the purchase agreement for your single family house. You won’t have to pay for the home appraisal, but you will have to get the house ready. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Novi and Northville neighborhoods and we know that the appraiser ignores your personal belongings and focuses on the bones of your property. You should still make sure your home is as clean as it was when you staged the homes for showings–it just leaves a better impression. If you have not already done so when you prepped the house for sale, make sure you handle these 3 things before the home appraisal happens: 1) Tidy up and clean and declutter enough so the appraiser can see small, unique details like a bay window, crown molding, bead board, or original or new hardwood floors. 2) Tackle the smell if any and make sure you air out the house and deodorize it. 3) Touch up your landscaping by re-mowing the lawn and pull any weeds that popped up.

You will need your house to appraise for at least the number the buyers said they’re willing to pay for it. If your single family home appraises for less, you or your buyer will have to make up the difference in cash because the bank will not issue a loan for more than the home is worth.
