Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's practically impossible for them to understand local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on how much your home will bring on the open market.
