What's Important in Home Appraisal

Home appraisals set the value for your home which may differ greatly from the fair market value but they are needed when refinancing or determining tax rates. Appraisers don't need much time and according to One Project Closer these are the areas most important to your home's value.

* Kitchen
* Master Bathroom
* Finished Basement
* Bathroom in Basement
* New Windows
* New Roof

Jetson Green recently tweeted this article that underscores the importance of valuing green features in your home which most appraisers still do not understand. Going through the time and effort to incorporate energy saving materials should be reflected in your home's value.

Kitchen is No. 1, huh? I guess it's a little surprising to see that, even though my wife and I -- just now starting to shop for our first house -- are pretty certain that's most important for us. I just wouldn't have expected it to be No. 1 for so many other folks, too.

Kitchen's are truly the centerpiece of the modern home and most often the first room to be remodeled. Best of luck in your house search - great time to buy!
