Eagle Home Appraisal Wilmington
Residential appraisals in Wilmington, Delaware.
Before you decide something about your house, it helps to start with a value based on the house itself and the sales around it.
Maybe it's a private sale, a transfer within the family or another decision of your own. Tell us who will read the report and whether you want today's value or one from the past.
Serving Wilmington and New Castle County, Delaware
Start with the house you actually own.
Wilmington has row houses, twins, detached homes and condominiums, and their markets can differ even where streets meet. We start with your address, the kind of property it is and what you're deciding.
The sale next door may be a different kind of house.
In Quaker Hill and Cool Spring, attached and twin construction shape the comparisons. In Wawaset Park, houses of different styles and sizes sit side by side.
Parking, lot size, layout, additions and condition matter too. The report uses sales that really fit, and explains how your house compares. Our service area page has more about each part of the city.
Tell us who asked for the report.
A private pricing decision, a family transaction and a report for an institution can each have different needs. Tell us the purpose and who will read it before you order.
If a lender or a loan servicer is involved, ask them how they require an appraisal to be ordered and what they accept. Confirm that before you pay for a private report.
Bring what you know about the work done.
A list of the big improvements helps us ask the right questions. Include dates, plans and permits if you have them, and tell us about any work still going on or parts of the house we can't get into.
You can find recorded deeds through the New Castle County Recorder of Deeds. Records and a visit both inform the research, and if they disagree we'll talk it through.
Questioning a county assessment is a different job.
If you're reviewing a New Castle County assessment, get the county's current instructions and confirm the date and the evidence it needs. A value for today may not answer what the county is asking.
Tell us what you need it for before we begin. An appraisal can be evidence for a particular use, but nobody can promise you a change to an assessment or any other result.
Planning the visit and the report.
Send the address, the kind of property, the purpose and your deadline using the residential appraisal inquiry. Tell us if the house is occupied, how we'd get in and anything unusual about it.
Then we'll talk about the job, the fee and when we're available. The service area page has recent city sales figures and a plain explanation of why a city median is background and not your house's value.
A few questions that come up.
Is an appraisal the same as a home inspection?
No. An appraisal gives an opinion of value, and an inspection looks at the condition of the building. If you want the building checked for defects, ask a home inspector about that separately.
Should I finish the repairs first?
Tell us what you're deciding and the date that matters before you spend money. Let us know what shape the house is in now and what you plan to change, and we can work from the house as it really is.
