·         Appraisals provide an objective opinion of value, but it’s not an exact science so appraisals may differ. 

·         For buying and selling purposes, appraisals are usually based on market value — what the property could probably be sold for. Other types of value include insurance value, replacement value, and assessed value for property tax purposes. 

·         Appraised value is not a constant number. Changes in market conditions can dramatically alter appraised value. 

·         Appraised value doesn’t take into account special considerations, like the need to sell rapidly. 

·         Lenders usually use either the appraised value or the sale price, whichever is less, to determine the amount of the mortgage they will offer.
