The job

What refinance appraisal usually includes

  • For the loan: an appraiser selected by your lender or its appraisal management company
  • For a private check: a written intended use such as equity planning, not a loan decision
  • An interior and exterior inspection with notes on updates and condition
  • Recent comparable sales in your neighborhood with adjustments
  • A written USPAP report with the appraiser's license number and level
  • A clear effective date so you know how current the value is
Price

What drives the cost of refinance appraisal in Royal Oak

  • Loan appraisal fees are set through your lender and shown on your loan estimate
  • For a private appraisal: property type, one unit or two to four units
  • Report type: full written report or a shorter restricted report
  • Size, updates and unusual features that need more support
  • Few recent comparable sales nearby
  • Rush turnaround
  • The age of the home: the typical Royal Oak home was built around 1956, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Royal Oak

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Royal Oak was built around 1956. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

61% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the Royal Oak building department before work starts.

  • Give the appraiser a list of updates with dates, such as roof, furnace or kitchen.
  • Compare turnaround and report type across quotes.
