Ask each provider what would make the price rise after the quote is accepted. ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does appraisal cost? Most appraisal falls between $1,111 and $3,444, with a typical figure near $1,956 per job. The low end is a straightforward job with no surprises; the high end covers complex scope, premium materials or urgent timing. It is worth testing that against a couple of quotes in South Carolina. ### What affects the price of appraisal? The honest answer is that it depends on the specifics. Compare the written scope first, then the price. Local providers in South Carolina can confirm how that applies to your area. ### Is Home Appraisals cheaper in smaller cities? Often, but not always. Smaller markets can carry a travel or availability premium that offsets a lower local rate, so it is worth checking a nearby city before assuming the lowest published figure applies to you. In South Carolina, that is worth confirming with a local provider before you commit. ### How many quotes should I get for appraisal? Two or three written quotes are enough to see the real market range. Compare the same scope side by side, and ask each provider what is excluded and what would change the price after the quote is accepted. The answer can shift with the South Carolina market, so check locally. ## Keep comparing - [Real Estate](/category/real-estate/) - [Mobile Homes](/south-carolina/mobile-home/) - [Commercial Real Estate](/south-carolina/commercial-real-estate/) - [Rent to Own](/south-carolina/rent-to-own/) - [Foreclosures](/south-carolina/foreclosures/) - [Relocation Costs](/south-carolina/relocation-costs/) - [ADUs](/south-carolina/accessory-dwelling/) - [Alabama](/alabama/home-appraisal/) - [Alaska](/alaska/home-appraisal/) - [Arizona](/arizona/home-appraisal/) - [Arkansas](/arkansas/home-appraisal/) - [California](/california/home-appraisal/) - [Colorado](/colorado/home-appraisal/) - [Connecticut](/connecticut/home-appraisal/) - [Delaware](/delaware/home-appraisal/) - [District of Columbia](/district-of-columbia/home-appraisal/) - [Florida](/florida/home-appraisal/) - [Georgia](/georgia/home-appraisal/) - [Hawaii](/hawaii/home-appraisal/) - [Idaho](/idaho/home-appraisal/) - [Illinois](/illinois/home-appraisal/) - [Indiana](/indiana/home-appraisal/) - [Iowa](/iowa/home-appraisal/) - [Kansas](/kansas/home-appraisal/) - [Kentucky](/kentucky/home-appraisal/) - [Louisiana](/louisiana/home-appraisal/) - [Maine](/maine/home-appraisal/) - [Maryland](/maryland/home-appraisal/) - [Massachusetts](/massachusetts/home-appraisal/) - [Michigan](/michigan/home-appraisal/) - [Minnesota](/minnesota/home-appraisal/) - [Mississippi](/mississippi/home-appraisal/) - [Missouri](/missouri/home-appraisal/) - [Montana](/montana/home-appraisal/) - [Nebraska](/nebraska/home-appraisal/) - [Nevada](/nevada/home-appraisal/) - [New Hampshire](/new-hampshire/home-appraisal/) - [New Jersey](/new-jersey/home-appraisal/) - [New Mexico](/new-mexico/home-appraisal/) - [New York](/new-york/home-appraisal/) - [North Carolina](/north-carolina/home-appraisal/) - [North Dakota](/north-dakota/home-appraisal/) - [Ohio](/ohio/home-appraisal/) - [Oklahoma](/oklahoma/home-appraisal/) - [Oregon](/oregon/home-appraisal/) - [Pennsylvania](/pennsylvania/home-appraisal/) - [Rhode Island](/rhode-island/home-appraisal/) - [South Carolina](/south-carolina/home-appraisal/) - [South Dakota](/south-dakota/home-appraisal/) - [Tennessee](/tennessee/home-appraisal/) - [Texas](/texas/home-appraisal/) - [Utah](/utah/home-appraisal/) - [Vermont](/vermont/home-appraisal/) - [Virginia](/virginia/home-appraisal/) - [Washington](/washington/home-appraisal/) - [West Virginia](/west-virginia/home-appraisal/) - [Wisconsin](/wisconsin/home-appraisal/) - [Wyoming](/wyoming/home-appraisal/) - [Ontario](/ontario/home-appraisal/) - [Quebec](/quebec/home-appraisal/) - [British Columbia](/british-columbia/home-appraisal/) - [Alberta](/alberta/home-appraisal/) - [Saskatchewan](/saskatchewan/home-appraisal/) - [Manitoba](/manitoba/home-appraisal/) - [Nova Scotia](/nova-scotia/home-appraisal/) - [New Brunswick](/new-brunswick/home-appraisal/) - [Newfoundland and Labrador](/newfoundland-and-labrador/home-appraisal/) - [Prince Edward Island](/prince-edward-island/home-appraisal/) - [Charleston](/charleston/) - [Columbia](/columbia/) - [Greenville](/greenville/) - [Mount Pleasant](/mount-pleasant/) - [North Charleston](/north-charleston/) --- These are planning ranges drawn from public price data and market research.
