If you’re taking out a mortgage to buy a home for sale in Aspen, you’ll have to pay for a home appraisal. That money comes out of your pocket – so how much does it cost?
Here’s what you need to know.

How Much Does a Home Appraisal Cost?

A home appraisal’s cost varies based on the size and location of the home you’re buying. There are some other factors that come into play, too, but generally, you can expect to pay between $300 and $500 for an appraisal.
You don’t get to choose your appraiser. Your lender will choose one for you based on its existing relationships with local appraisers.

What’s in it for You?

An appraisal tells you – and your lender – how much a home is actually worth. That way, your lender can make an informed decision; it’s not going to lend you more money than you need to buy a house, especially if the house is overpriced.
