If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, a professional appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it's worth the money in the long run! Unless a homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to understand real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want to sell it for. Rather, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home. Technically, something is only going to sell for the price another person is offering to pay.
