How are Relocation Appraisals Different from Standard Home Appraisals?

With relocation appraisals, the major differentiating factor is timing. Relocating typically involves more urgency with buying and selling a home than doing so under normal market conditions.

Usually, you have a short amount of time to get all your affairs in order, move to your new town, sell your current home and buy a new one.

For standard home appraisals, an appraiser looks at retrospective data and factors in inflation, depreciation and other variables. For relocation appraisals, your appraiser will evaluate other factors:

1. Current market conditions
2. Current market trends
3. Comparable properties that have recently sold in your area
4. Home inspection findings

What Are the Goals of a Relocation Appraisal?

• To give you an estimated sale price of your home right now.
• To help you sell your home within a reasonable length of time — usually 120 days or less from listing.
• To enable a quick sale that can supply the funds needed to buy a new home in your new town.
• To limit the stress of owning property in another town or state.
