Appraisal Review for Builders and Developers — ROV Help Desk
Who We Help — Builders & Developers
When New Construction Appraisals Miss the Mark
New construction appraisals present unique challenges. When an appraisal fails to reflect the quality, specifications, or market position of a new home, ROV Help Desk provides the independent analysis needed to identify whether a credible reconsideration request is supportable.
Disclaimer: ROV Help Desk services are not appraisals, appraisal reviews, opinions of market value, legal opinions, lending decisions, or guarantees that an appraised value will increase, decrease, or otherwise change unless separately agreed to in writing through an appropriate professional engagement.
Situations Where a Review May Be Appropriate
A new construction appraisal came in below the contract price, threatening the buyer's financing
The appraiser used resale comparables that do not reflect new construction pricing in the market
Upgrades, lot premiums, or builder incentives are not adequately reflected in the analysis
The appraisal does not account for the cost and quality of construction relative to comparable sales
Market conditions for new construction in the subject area are not properly analyzed
The appraisal contains factual errors about the subject property's specifications or features
