Part of that process is getting an appraisal (or valuation) on your home. So, if you\u2019re wondering, \u201c<strong>Can appraisals affect the selling price on a house in Kansas City?<\/strong>\u201d then keep reading\u2026<\/em>\n\n<strong>When selling your house, you\u2019ll be juggling a lot of numbers!<\/strong>\n<ul>\n \t<li>There\u2019s the asking price \u2013 the price you WANT to sell your house for<\/li>\n \t<li>There\u2019s the appraisal or valuation \u2013 the price that a real estate professional thinks you should try to sell your house for<\/li>\n \t<li>There\u2019s the selling price \u2013 the price that someone will ultimately pay for your house.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Can Appraisals Affect The Selling Price On A House?<\/h2>\nHere\u2019s the answer:\n\n<strong>An appraisal should probably affect your <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">asking price<\/span> but it won\u2019t affect the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">selling the price<\/span>.<\/strong> Here\u2019s why\u2026\n\n<strong>An appraisal is an educated guess<\/strong>. When you want an appraisal, the professional who gives you the appraisal will usually find the number based on what other comparable houses in the area have sold for recently.\n\nThey\u2019ll look at several factors (including, but not limited to the number of bedrooms or bathrooms, whether the basement is finished or not, etc.). Of course, it\u2019s just an educated guess based on research, and there are other factors that may influence the price beyond the appraisal.\n\n<strong>The appraisal will highlight things you want to be aware of<\/strong>. It will show you what other people are willing to pay for a house and often what they consider to be important factors in the area.\n\n<strong>The appraisal will then help you select an asking price that potential buyers seem willing to pay<\/strong>. For example, you might choose an asking price that is higher than the appraisal because your house is a better house, or you might choose an asking price that is lower than the appraisal because your house needs some work.\n<h3>The Bottom Line<\/h3>\nThe appraisal is a guide; an educated guess. But you should also be aware that the appraisal is not always correct. There are many factors that determine the sale price of a house and an appraisal is only a starting point. Therefore, it won\u2019t likely influence the selling price.\n<h2>Are you thinking about selling your house?<\/h2>\nWhy bother with an appraisal at all?
