QHow Do I Calculate The Value Of My Property?
ASince a mortgage is a loan secured by a piece of real property, a crucial factor is in the correct value of the property in question. Property value can be determined in a number of ways: 1. The market value of the property - that is, what a buyer will pay for it and what other comparable properties (comps) in the neighborhood have recently sold for. 2. The appraised value of the property - that is, what a trained and licensed professional deems the property to be worth based on an inspection, comps, and a thorough analysis of the property and its neighborhood. Additionally, the appraiser estimates the replacement value of the property - that is, the cost to build a house of similar size and construction on a vacant lot. The appraiser reduces this cost by an age factor to take into account deterioration and depreciation.
