Your mortgage lender will require an appraisal of your newly built house before approving your loan. This is done to verify that your property is worth the amount of the loan that is being considered for you.
Appraisals of existing houses often offer few difficulties for mortgage lenders since there are similar homes in the immediate vicinity to which they may compare them. On the other hand, new construction house appraisals may create difficulties for lenders since there may not be any comparable properties available.
When purchasing a house, an appraisal is required. But how can an appraiser determine the worth of a new construction home that has not yet been constructed?
Typically, an appraiser will use the Sales Comparison Approach, which finds recent comparable property sales that have occurred in the same area or a nearby region. This makes finding and verifying the sales data of these comparable for new construction houses in new subdivision projects more difficult to evaluate since they are not always published in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS).
It is often essential to use houses that are not brand new and make modifications depending on the depreciation that has accumulated over time. It is also critical for the appraiser to incorporate sales of comparable houses from rival builders to show the home’s marketability.
While comparable sales and the direct sales technique are still the most significant and accurate methods of determining value, appraisers have access to a variety of additional data sources to aid them in their calculations.
The developer usually gives the following information to lenders, which they may then pass along to the appraiser:
The higher the level of information in these papers, the better the accuracy of the resulting analysis.
At National Appraisals, our appraisers can assess what will be constructed and give an opinion of worth based on the information included in these papers.
Homebuilders retain building blueprints for the houses they create, as well as specifications detailing the materials used in the construction of the home. Additionally, homebuilders maintain detailed cost breakdown records for each house they construct. The plot plan for a new construction house indicates where the home will be built on the building site, as well as the location of any auxiliary structures.
An assessment of your house will be performed once your homebuilder has provided your mortgage lender with the construction plan, spec sheets, cost breakdown list, and plot plan for the home.
When determining the value of a newly built house, our appraisers at National Appraisals often employ the cost method to determine the value. According to the cost method, one must include both the projected cost of the property on which a proposed house will be built and the present cost of replacing or reproducing it.
Using the sales comparison method, in which the worth of a house is assessed in accordance with the sales prices of similar homes, is not always successful when it comes to newly built homes. A newly built house may be one of a kind in its location, with few comparable homes in the immediate vicinity to serve as a point of reference.
In order for an assessment to be deemed credible, it must include a number of critical components, regardless of the method used. An appraiser evaluating your newly built house, for example, will explicitly identify the property under consideration and the extent of the job he is doing.
Additionally, the appraisal for your proposed house will include a value estimate as well as the methodology used to arrive at that estimate. A requirement of the house assessment process is that appraisers utilize forms that enable data and analysis to be presented in a clear and concise manner.
As soon as the home is finished, the appraiser will issue an appraisal report. The appraiser for your new construction house will submit the appraisal to your mortgage lender, who will use it to make a decision on whether or not to grant you a loan.
The first thing we do at the National Appraisals is examine your property in order to determine its current condition. Among our responsibilities is to inspect the new house to determine how many bedrooms physically and bathrooms it has, as well as what amenities are provided and any other essential aspects of the new property.
Some appraisers draw a drawing of the property during their assessment to demonstrate the exact size of the property, including square footage, layout, and floor plan information. The first and most important step is to search for any amenities, flaws, or problems that may have an effect on the property’s market value.
Following the evaluation of all relevant facts, the appraiser may provide an estimate of the value of the new construction property. While the property may sell for somewhat more or less than the valuation, it is a reasonable estimate of the range of prices the house might command on the market.
It is possible that the property has features that cause the price to be greater than what was initially anticipated. This valuation also provides crucial information to the lender regarding how much money they can realistically loan for the purchase of the property.
At the conclusion of the process, one of our appraisal specialists will work with you to provide you with an impartial value of the new home so that you may proceed. It is our responsibility to use two or three conventional analytical methods to determine the property’s worth.
