Residential Appraisal Fees

RealVals quotes every appraisal individually. The starting fees below apply to non-lender residential appraisals for market value, pre-listing, divorce, tax appeal, estate, trust, gift, and retrospective purposes in San Francisco and Marin County.

Single-Family House

From $500

Condominium

From $500

Land

From $500

2-4 Unit

From $700

Final fees depend on property size, scope of work, and location. A full interior inspection costs more than an exterior-only inspection, a 5,000 square foot house costs more than a 1,000 square foot house, and a rent-controlled 4-unit building with tenants costs more than a vacant duplex.

Retrospective and Estate Assignments

Appraisals with a prior effective date, including date of death, date of separation, and gift or capital gains valuations, require historical market research and additional documentation. RealVals quotes these assignments based on the effective date and the research required, and the fee often exceeds the starting fee for a current-market appraisal of the same property.
