    Common Reasons for a Residential Appraisal in Westchester

    Homeowners and professionals in Westchester order residential appraisals for a wide range of purposes beyond mortgage lending:

    Pre-listing appraisal

    Know your home's true market value before you list it, so you can price it strategically and negotiate confidently.

    For sale by owner (FSBO)

    If you are selling without a real estate agent, an appraisal gives you and your buyer a neutral starting point for negotiations.

    PMI removal

    If your home has appreciated, a new appraisal showing 20% or more equity can help you request removal of private mortgage insurance.

    Refinancing

    Know your property's value before applying to refinance, so you can evaluate your loan-to-value ratio and shop with confidence.

    Property tax appeal

    If you believe the local property assessment office has overassessed your home, discuss the evidence and reporting requirements for your appeal.

    Insurance valuation

    Establish the replacement cost or market value of your home for insurance coverage review purposes.

    Charitable donations

    If you are donating real property, the IRS requires a qualified appraisal to substantiate the charitable deduction.

    Relocation

    Corporate relocation programs often require an independent appraisal as part of the buyout process.
