PURCHASE AND SALE
A purchase and sale appraisal serves as a cornerstone in real estate transactions, providing an unbiased valuation that influences both buyer's and seller's decisions. It's a critical component that can shape the negotiation process, ensuring that all parties have a clear understanding of the property's fair market value.
A fair valuation for your purchase or sale
The appraisal for purchase and sale transactions in Canada typically occurs after the buyer and seller have agreed on a price and an agreement has been signed, ensuring the property's listed price aligns with its market value. For sellers, a pre-listing appraisal might be advantageous, especially for unique properties or in volatile markets, to solidify the asking price from the outset. Buyers can leverage a lower-than-contract appraisal to negotiate price reductions, though it's crucial to understand that banks will not lend more than the appraised value, potentially impacting the loan amount. For both parties, the appraisal can affirm the agreed price or prompt adjustments, serving as a crucial checkpoint before finalizing the sale. Renovations and home improvements can influence the appraised value, with certain enhancements offering more value than their cost, while others may not yield a significant return on investment.
