Appraisal?

We’re having our house appraised to get rid of PMI. DH thought it was a good idea to schedule this for tomorrow while we’re having heat installed in our basement and my house looks like a bomb exploded. He told me this yesterday.

What are they looking at? Do I really need to obsess over a cluttered utility room or my guest room looking like toys r us?

No definitely not. They're more interested in square footage and the skeleton of the house, utilities, etc.

Re: Appraisal?

Messiness does not affect the assessed value of the home.
Otherwise my house would currently be assessed at negative $1 million dollars!

I used to work for an appraisal company...the clutter of your home has nothing to do with it!

Re: Appraisal?

I'm sure that whatever your house looks like the appraiser has seen 10x worse. Don't go crazy over clutter.
