http://www.batonrougerealestateappraisers.net/ – Are Low Appraisals Occurring In The Greater Baton Rouge Market?

There have been a flurry of recent articles regarding the “issue” of “LOW APPRAISALS”, so much so that we now have The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg News and possibly the NAR (National Association Of Realtors) reporting on this issue.  

What is a “Low Appraisal”?   Are these really actually low appraisals or were the expectations by the homeowner AND LENDER for a refinance or by the Realtor AND LENDER for a purchase or sale just too unrealistic? 

Have there really been “declining markets” within the local market that would warrant a “declining markets” adjustment to the solds used?   What is a declining markets adjustment?  

What market factors assist the appraiser in determining if an appraisal should be “low” or not.  

Did you know that appraisers are now required to use 3 current comparable listings within their reports, adjusted to the current listing-to-sales price ratio of say, 95%?   What is a “listing-to-sales price ratio” and why are they now required in 2008 & 2009? 

What is the Fannie Mae 1004 MC Addendum and why is that form alone assisting to determine a “low appraisal”? 

What “Tools” are appraisers using today to determine market trends and market direction?

Bill Cobb Appraiser Recommends Kim Smith’s Dramatic Design Web Services – http://www.dramatic-design.com/

Testimonial:

“Hi, I’m Bill Cobb Appraiser in Baton Rouge working with WordPress Blogs for marketing help for my appraisal business.  I had been searching online for about 6 months now trying a premium theme to use and couldn’t locate a theme I liked.   I did find a Realtor’s website I really liked though.   I found Kim Smith’s “Dramatic Design” on Ebay under the keyword “WordPress” and emailed her about my search, the site I liked, my specifications I was looking for and to see if she could assist me.   She said she could, so I purchased her Ebay Auction.   Kim immediately went into action on my project, asked more questions about my desires for the site and went to work.   The theme she designed is located @ http://www.batonrougerealestateappraisers.net/ 

and I am very pleased with Kim Smith’s Dramatic Design.   Her price was reasonable, her attention to detail was superb, and her delivery was rather quick for a Web Design Company.   I highly recommend http://www.dramatic-design.com/ .
