Whether you’re thinking about selling your home or borrowing from your home equity, it’s worth considering how to increase home value for an appraisal. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Northville and Novi neighborhoods and we know that while you can’t control every aspect of how your home is valued, properly preparing for a home appraisal can assist in making sure credit is given where due. If you’re selling your home to a buyer prequalified for a home loan, it’s important to prepare for the appraisal. What you perceive to be the value of a home upgrade and how an appraiser values the same improvement can be starkly different. When appraising a house, appraisers cannot account for personal property. This is considered anything that can technically be moved, including sheds and above-ground spas. Unless it’s a permanent fixture that’s tied down to a concrete slab or something like that, then it’s moveable and can be considered personal property.

Curb appeal does play a role in how an appraiser values a home. Their job is to look at the overall condition and quality of the house as well as the property. Tidy up the grounds, remove any dead trees, repair walkways, and seal driveways.
