If you're planning on selling your home soon, an appraisal is a must. An appraisal doesn't cost that much and it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand real estate market forces.

This isn't a discussion of how much you have invested in your home, or how much you want for it. Instead, the appraisal measures the true market value of your home.
