how much are appraisals
The mortgage lender will order the appraisal either directly from an appraiser, most of whom are independent contractors, or through appraisal management companies, which act as a sort of outsourced appraisal department for the lender. On average, the cost of a home appraisal on a single-family home ranges between $300 and $400. The price for an appraisal on a multi-family building starts around $600, but can increase depending on the size of the property.
