Pre-Listing Appraisals

Selling a home often begins with one important question: What is the property worth in today’s market?

A professional pre-listing appraisal provides an independent, well-supported opinion of market value based on the property’s characteristics, relevant market conditions and analysis of comparable sales.

Hill Appraisal Associates provides residential pre-listing appraisals throughout Philadelphia, Montgomery, Bucks, Delaware and Chester Counties. A pre-listing appraisal can be particularly helpful when a property is unusual, comparable sales are limited, the owners have differing opinions about value, or an independent valuation would be useful in making decisions before the property is offered for sale.

An Independent Perspective on Value

A real estate agent’s comparative market analysis can be an important part of developing a marketing strategy. An appraisal serves a different purpose: it provides an independent opinion of value developed by a state-certified residential real estate appraiser.  With more than 20 years of appraisal experience and approximately 7,000 residential property inspections, Hill Appraisal Associates brings extensive local valuation experience to each assignment.

An independent appraisal can provide valuable perspective on your home's market value before you list.

Considering Improvements Before You Sell?

Homeowners often wonder whether improvements made before a sale will increase the value of their property. Should you update the kitchen? Paint? Finish the basement? Make repairs before putting the home on the market?

The answer depends on the property and its market. Not every improvement contributes to market value dollar-for-dollar, and buyers may react differently to particular features depending on the neighborhood, price range and competing properties.

A pre-listing appraisal provides an independent analysis of the property as it exists and its position within the current market. That information can give homeowners an additional perspective as they make decisions about preparing and pricing a property for sale.
