Appraisals across Contra Costa County.
We appraise homes in Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Orinda, Moraga, Danville, San Ramon, Alamo, Concord, Pleasant Hill, Antioch, Brentwood and Richmond.
Lamorinda and the San Ramon Valley price very differently from Concord or East County. Custom hillside homes and large lots often have only a few true comparable sales, so older sales are brought forward in time and checked against the wider market.
County seat: Martinez. Homes in unincorporated areas and smaller towns across the county are covered too.
Do you appraise homes in Walnut Creek, Lafayette and the rest of Contra Costa County?
Yes. Anthony Young appraises homes across Contra Costa County, including Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Orinda, Moraga, Danville, San Ramon, Alamo, Concord, Pleasant Hill, Antioch, Brentwood and Richmond. Desktop appraisals, reviews and Market Intelligence reports need no site visit. When an inspection is needed, it is scheduled with your quote.
Do I need a date-of-death appraisal for an inherited house in Contra Costa County?
Usually it is your best proof. An inherited house generally takes a new tax basis equal to its fair market value on the date of death, and a date-of-death appraisal documents that value for the trust, the CPA and any later sale. In a court probate, the probate referee values the house for the court inventory. Families and attorneys still hire a private appraiser for tax basis, a buyout or a dispute.
Can you value a Contra Costa County home as of a past date?
Yes. Retrospective values for a date of death, a date of separation or another past date are a core part of the practice. The value is built from the sales and market trend that existed on that date.
Can you appraise a Contra Costa County home without visiting it?
Yes, when the purpose allows it. A desktop appraisal uses what you know about the house, any photos you have, public records, listing history and the sales in the market. Tell us who will rely on the report and we will say whether a desktop fits or a site visit is the safer choice.
