🚨 Appraisal vs. Inspection—What’s the Difference?

If you’re unsure, you’re not alone! But understanding the distinction is key when buying or selling a home. Let’s break it down:

🔍 Home Inspection
Think condition. An inspector evaluates the property’s structure, systems, and overall safety. It’s the buyer’s opportunity to uncover any hidden issues before finalizing the purchase.

💰 Home Appraisal
Think value. Ordered by the lender, an appraiser determines the home’s fair market value to ensure it matches the loan amount. It protects both the buyer and the lender from overpaying.

Both are essential steps in the closing process, helping buyers make informed decisions and keeping transactions on track.

When buying a home, be sure to plan when saving for a down payment and closing costs. Closing costs usually run 2-5% of the total purchase price. Now, more than ever, you must have money set aside to cover those costs.
