Introduction
When buying a home, two critical steps in the mortgage process are the home appraisal and inspection. While they may seem similar, they serve different purposes and are equally important for protecting both buyers and lenders. In this blog post, we’ll explain the difference between appraisals and inspections, why they’re necessary, and what to do if issues arise.
What is a Home Appraisal?
A home appraisal is an unbiased assessment of the property’s market value, conducted by a licensed appraiser. Lenders require appraisals to ensure the home is worth the loan amount.
What is a Home Inspection?
A home inspection is a thorough examination of the property’s condition, performed by a licensed inspector. It identifies potential issues, such as structural problems, plumbing issues, or electrical hazards.
Why Are They Important?
- For Buyers: Appraisals and inspections help you avoid overpaying for a home or buying a property with costly hidden problems.
- For Lenders: These steps protect lenders by ensuring the property is a sound investment.
What Happens if the Appraisal Comes in Low?
If the appraisal value is lower than the purchase price, you may need to:
- Negotiate a lower price with the seller.
- Pay the difference out of pocket.
- Walk away from the deal if the seller won’t budge.
What if the Inspection Reveals Issues?
If the inspection uncovers problems, you can:
- Request repairs from the seller.
- Negotiate a lower price to cover repair costs.
- Decide not to proceed with the purchase if the issues are too significant.
