Before you fall for the kitchen, pay attention to what the appraisal actually looks at.
Appraisals aren’t about finishes or design trends.
They’re based on:
• Recent comparable sales
• Overall condition
• How the home fits the local market
Knowing this early helps buyers set realistic expectations—and avoid surprises once the loan is in process.
