The valuation of residential real estate is a complex process that requires a comprehensive analysis of market conditions, comparable sales, property characteristics, and other relevant factors. Any value opinion provided without first conducting a full appraisal, including an inspection and market research, is purely speculative and should not be relied upon for financial, legal, or investment decisions.
A formal appraisal adheres to industry standards, such as those set by the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), and provides a substantiated, credible opinion of value. Without a detailed analysis, any estimated value may be inaccurate or misleading. Additionally, changes in market conditions, property condition, and external factors can significantly impact value.
