Appraisals determine values based off the past, while the actiual is what a home is worth today and in the future.  This is why I always recommend 1) talking over the appraisal with your agent before making any decisions and  2) look at what comparable homes are currently listed for in the market, because they’re the only ones you can buy, and  3) Appeal the appraisal if you can and if you feel it is grossly off.  #larealtors #lahomes #losangelesrealestate #larealtor #larealestateagent #losangeleshomes #howtobuyahomeinla #homebuyingtips
