Question for those that recently had their homes appraised for re-fi
Did the appraiser come inside?

Yes, he came in and looked in every room. He even requested a survey of the house (which we had).

Re: Question for those that recently had their homes appraised for re-fi
Drive-bys used to be more common but it seems more lenders want full appraisals these days.
If its a low loan to value, drive bys are more popular, as the appraisal doesn't need to be so accurate. The bank just wants to know the loan is reasonable, and drive-bys often give enough info to establish that.
IF you had a drive-by and your appraisal came in too low for the loan AND you have an updated above average interior that may improve your value, I'd request a full appraisal from your lender.
