🏡 Home Inspection vs. Appraisal: Do You Know the Difference? 🏡
As a homebuyer in Minnesota, understanding the ins and outs of a home inspection and an appraisal is crucial to making an informed purchase. But do you know why both are essential and how they protect you?
When you’re buying, you might know that a home inspection is important, but maybe you’re unsure how it differs from an appraisal. Let’s break it down:
🔍 Home Inspection: This is your opportunity to assess the safety and overall condition of the home. A thorough inspection can reveal potential issues like HVAC problems, electrical issues, or appliance concerns. This gives you the leverage to negotiate repairs or replacements-or simply peace of mind about what you’re getting into.
💰 Home Appraisal: On the other hand, an appraisal is requested by your lender to determine the home’s fair market value based on neighborhood comparables. This ensures you’re not overpaying for your future home.
Both are key steps after your offer is accepted and are vital to protecting your financial interests.
