Heirs may need an appraisal for estate distribution, tax documentation, a family buyout, trust administration, sale planning, or retention of the property.
A sale or buyout may require current value, while estate and tax matters may require fair market value as of the owner's date of death.
Novato's large suburban housing stock includes homes that remain relatively original alongside properties that have been remodeled, expanded, or substantially updated.
Development age, floor plan, lot utility, renovation quality, garage configuration, and neighborhood appeal can all influence how buyers react.
