Appraisers v/s Homeowners Battle On Values

by Christie Cannon

Appraisers & Homeowners Do Not Always See Eye-To-Eye!

Appraisers & Homeowners Don’t See Eye-To-Eye on Values | MyKCM

In today’s housing market, where supply is very low and demand is very high, home values are increasing rapidly. Many experts are projecting that home values could appreciate by another 5%+ over the next twelve months. One major challenge in such a market is the bank appraisal.

If prices are surging, it is difficult for appraisers to find adequate, comparable sales (similar houses in the neighborhood that closed recently) to defend the selling price when performing the appraisal for the bank.

Every month, Quicken Loans measures the disparity between what a homeowner believes their house is worth as compared to an appraiser’s evaluation in their Home Price Perception Index (HPPI). Here is a chart showing that difference for each of the last 12 months.

Every house on the market has to be sold twice; once to a prospective buyer and then to the bank (through the bank’s appraisal). With escalating prices, the second sale might be even more difficult than the first. If you are planning on entering the housing market this year, let’s get together to discuss this, and any other obstacle that may arise.

Windsong Ranch in Prosper - Coming Soon!

by Christie Cannon

 

If you have not yet seen it... you have likely heard about it..  Prosper's latest & greatest coming community - Windsong Ranch  is preparing now for their full grand opening.  With major local & national builders (Highland HomesHuntington HomesDreesDavid Weekley HomesDarling Homes, & Chesmar), 600+ acres of greenspace - with tennis, ponds, pools, fitness, community cafes (with wife & all the perks), hike & bike trails, & more "hidden" surprises - this community is poised to be a major draw for buyers.  Having a location just north of 380, & combined with some of DFW's best builders, this community stands ready to add even more momentum to Prosper's already booming new home construction. The Terra Verde Group is one of the key groups behind this project; they are a company with deep experience in mixed-use development (such as CityPlace in Dallas), as well as more traditional Master-Planned communities - they combine this with a solid background in the planning & development of a huge number of Resort & Golf properties (from Angel Fire to the Dove Mountain Ritz Carrolton).
