And even more precisely because of the exact models being sold can be compared to other exactly the same models except for location and modifications.

There are some very questionable appraisers out there. Completely unqualified and incapable that make use of already established information in TV and charge significant $$ for no value added except fullfilling the lending institution the paper work.

We had one done a few years for re-financing that was a joke done by an elderly couple barely able to walk. No measuring of rooms. No asking of questions. Took a couple of pictures. I protested to the lender and got a second one done by someone capable. The second one came in $30,000 higher!!!

The lower one would not have affected the transaction, but it was the point they were not doing the job.
