Home owners may be slightly too optimistic about their home’s value compared to what appraisers say it’s actually worth. Home values are, on average, about 2.17 percent lower than what home owners expect compared to appraisers’ estimates, according to Quicken Loans’ latest Home Price Perception Index.
The gap between home owner expectations and appraisal estimates widened in March. In February, appraisals were 1.99 percent lower than what home owners expected.
