This is one of the first questions potential customers want to know. If you’re getting a single-family home appraised, the cost starts at $395.

The cost for an appraisal will be higher if:

The home is large

The bigger the house, the more the appraisal might cost. That’s simply because there is more areas to observe.

The home is in a unique location

If your home overlooks a lake or is located on several acres, the appraisal will likely cost more — mostly because there aren’t many similar homes to compare it to.
