Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to understand the nuances of their local real estate market.

We are not talking about the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.

Folks are sometimes surprised to discover the value of their home is a great deal more than they thought.
