\"Gap<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s 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 4% or more over the next twelve months. One major challenge in such a market is the bank appraisal.<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Every month in their\u00a0Home Price Perception Index\u00a0<\/em>(HPPI),\u00a0Quicken Loans<\/em>\u00a0measures<\/a>\u00a0the disparity between what a homeowner who is seeking to refinance their home believes their house is worth and what an appraiser\u2019s evaluation of that same home is.<\/p>\n

In the latest release, the disparity was the narrowest it has been in over two years, as the gap between appraisers and homeowners was only -0.5%. This is important for homeowners to note as even a .5% difference in appraisal can mean thousands of dollars that a buyer or seller would have to come up with at closing (depending on the price of the home)<\/p>\n

The chart below illustrates the changes in home price estimates over the last two years.<\/p>\n

\"Gap<\/a><\/p>\n

Bill Banfield,\u00a0Executive\u00a0VP of Capital Markets\u00a0at\u00a0Quicken Loans<\/em>\u00a0urges homeowners to find out how their local markets have been impacted by supply and demand:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAppraisers and real estate professionals evaluate their local housing markets daily. Homeowners, on the other hand, may only think about their housing market when they see \u2018for sale\u2019 signs hit front yards in the spring or when they think about accessing their equity.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWith several years of growth, owners may have more equity than they realize. Many consumers use the tax season at the beginning of the year to reevaluate their entire financial life. It also provides a good opportunity for them to consider how best to take advantage of their equity while mortgage interest rates and borrowing costs are still near record lows.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Bottom Line<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Every house on the market must be sold twice; once to a prospective buyer and then to the bank (through the bank\u2019s 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\u2019s get together to discuss this and any other obstacles that may arise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
