Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in an appraisal. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market.
