How to Get a Free Home Appraisal

Looking for free home appraisals? Finding out the value of your home can be important when it comes times to sell. However, hiring a professional property appraiser can be expensive. Here are a few tips on how to get a free home appraisal.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Basic home information

1. Write down your homes information. This is the data appraisers use to figure home values. Each figure is used to calculate your home value estimate in a large equation. Here are some of the figures you will need.
   
   *Lot size / Acerage
   *Apx. sq. Footage
   *Type of home (townhouse, single family home, condo)
   *Bedrooms
   *Bathrooms
   *Parking
   *Basement
   *General overall condition

2. Visit getmyhomesvalue.com. This site offers a free online home appraisal function that will let you know your estimated home price. However, this site will give you a very rough property estimate and is usually not excepted by financial institutions and potential buyers. This site is strictly for ballpark property appraisals to give you a general idea of what your home is worth.

3. Visit a real estate appraisal school or class and ask them if they would like to use your house for practice appraisals. This will involve opening your house up to a bunch of students for a day or two but can be a great way to get a free property appraisal.
