Pros of Pre-Loan Appraisals
Experts say some of the pros of a pre-loan appraisal include the following:
- Potentially avoid PMI. If the terms of a borrower’s existing loan require private mortgage insurance, chances are it would be required after a refinance as well. On the contrary, if the actual market price of the property is higher than what the lender assumes, and the loan is less than 80% of the home’s true value, the borrower may not have to pay for PMI. A good way to determine if the loan-to-value ratio is low enough to avoid PMI is to order an appraisal.
- Capture a lower interest rate. If the loan-to-value ratio is too high, the lender may charge the borrower a higher mortgage rate to reflect greater risk. However, if an appraisal shows the loan is a much smaller percentage of the home’s value, the borrower may receive a lower interest rate, which could lower the monthly payment.
- Spot rising trends. Professional appraisers have the ability to recognize when a market is rebounding. Fulton County Property Appraiser is familiar with your area, and can spot a rising trend in prices and document it in the appraisal.
