"I didn't get an explanation of why the appraisal was the amount it was. She told me the price range for the homes in my neighborhood was from $230s to $250s. Mine was appraised at $233k. Just wanted to know why it was on the low end, especially it being a 4 bedroom and master on the main which not too common with other homes in the neighborhood."

"Daneda took us in and showed us all of the homes in our targeted area at our targeted price range based on our preferences we established through many emails on Easter weekend! I was still active duty military at the time and had a limited amount of time and money to travel to Douglasville to look for our forever home. Daneda worked diligently to help us find our best available option and the best selling price we could ask for as well as advising us on general real estate policies and incentives prevalent for buyers in the area. She led us around all Easter weekend without complaint, and smoothly orchestrated our closing within a reasonable amount of time and went above and beyond what we expected. She is awesome, knowledgeable and extremely friendly. We can't thank her enough and have even maintained contact with her since are closing!

You can estimate a bathroom addition’s value between 10% to 20% of a home’s value. But this also accounts for extra square footage since homes with more bathrooms tend to have more space. When considering adding one, you should know that a bathroom generally adds only $5,000 to an appraisal price initially, with adjustments made for other factors like local home values.
Garages increase a property’s value by about 80% of the build price. The national average cost to build a garage is $23,900.
However, on an appraisal, a garage contributes to the whole rather than as a part. For example, if you have a garage, your appraiser then tries to compare it to nearby homes with garages, which often have a higher value.
A bedroom can add anywhere from $10,000 to $25,000 or more to an appraisal. It depends heavily on the size of the bedroom, the overall home’s value, the location, and what amenities it might include (like a walk-in closet).
A drive-by appraisal usually costs $100 to $150. For a drive-by appraisal, the appraiser only visually assesses the home's exterior, in addition to reviewing the real estate records on the home and comparing it to nearby homes.
An FHA appraisal costs between $400 and $700. Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans are usually less strict, so the appraisals are often more affordable. VA appraisal fees range from $425 to $900 for a single-family home. Compared to FHA loans, VA loans can be more involved.
A home appraiser will look at the real estate paperwork related to the home, but they will also do an exterior and interior assessment. Reviews include the square footage of the home and/or acreage of the lot, the age and condition of the home, construction materials used, the general state of the economy and local market, and the design and style of the home, along with any special features it may have. While an appraiser won’t be as thorough as a home inspector, they will likely notice very obvious problems and defects.
