If you're going to sell your home, you should seriously consider a professional appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.

Not only will getting a professional appraisal help you set a sensible selling price to attract more potential buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Give you an advantage while bargaining once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home's interior and exterior
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles that might delay a closing
Lower the chances of hidden problems that cause sales to flop

It can be surprising to people to discover their home's value is higher than they first thought. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Alternatively, some people have an overestimated impression of the value of their home, and an appraisal helped them to to set a more reasonable price their home allowing them to quickly sell it rather than gathering dust on the market for months.
