Budgeting for appraisal

Set aside the typical figure, near $1,956 per job, and treat anything closer to $1,111 as a bonus rather than a target. For appraisal, the middle of the range is the realistic number.

How to compare quotes for appraisal

For appraisal, a fair comparison means identical scope. If one quote includes permits and cleanup and another does not, the cheaper total may not be cheaper at all.

Timing your appraisal

Timing changes what you pay for appraisal. Demand peaks around holidays, seasonal deadlines and the start of the busy season, and prices follow. Booking in a quieter window is one of the few levers that lowers the figure without cutting scope.

What moves the price of appraisal

Labour, materials and timing explain most of the gap between two quotes for appraisal. Access and preparation often matter as much as the headline task, so a job that needs extra setup or a second visit costs more even when the base price looks identical.
