Both single property appraisal and mass appraisal employ the same appraisal methods, techniques and judgments. The differences between single property appraisal and mass appraisal are:

AMultiple Regression Analysis is a statistical technique used to analyze data in order to predict the value of one variable (i.e. market value) based on known values of other different variables (i.e. square footage). A mathematical equation (a model) is established that describes how variables are related. This method is used to value thousands of properties at a time with limited staff.

Appraisal & a Professional Home Inspection are both completely different evaluations of the property. The appraiser establishes an estimated 'market value' of the property; comparing it to similar homes within the listing neighborhood. While a Real Estate Inspector evaluates the actual physical condition of the structure and all of the related components of the house that you are buying.

A computer-assisted mass appraisal system is a system of appraising real property that incorporates statistical analysis to assist the Assessor in estimating value on a mass basis by use of a computer. The mass appraisal process is the systematic valuation of groups of properties as of a certain date by standard procedures and statistical testing.

A US cent weighs exactly 2.5 g, while the nickel weighs exactly 5 g. On the moon, a nickel still weighs 5 g - its mass is unchanged - but in the technical sense of the word it weighs about 49 millinewtons on Earth but only 8 mN on the moon. In everyday use, "weight" is a synonym for "mass." You weigh something to determine its mass, which you call its "weight," measured in grams, kilograms, metric tons, or the like.

Diseases like LCH and JXG can effect multiple organ systems (skin, lungs, liver, spleen, lymph, bones & bone marrow, central nervous system....). Multisystem means more than one of these systems are impacted (usually not a good thing). You may also hear the term multi-focal which means there are lesions in more than one location in a given system. Multisystem & multi-focal is sometimes referred to as disseminated.

A single stage furnace will deliver the same amount of heat and airflow no matter what the temperature is outside. A 2-stage furnace with a 2-stage thermostat will begin in first stage (low burner, low airflow) and only go to second stage if the indoor temperature drops during first stage. This makes the furnace run longer, providing greater air circulation, temperature distribution, and air filtration. This also provides a more consistent indoor environment.

single-spot and three-spot pickups generate the track following signal differently. The single-spot design uses the difference in intensity between the left and right halves of the returning beam. The three-spot design uses the difference in intensity of the two separate "outboard" spots generated for this purpose. The single-spot pickup tracks the center of the track, whereas the three-spot pickup tracks the edges of the track.

A. We will arrange for an appraisal of your property. The appraisal must be paid to Hometown Mortgage prior to the time we order. If you are purchasing a home you may not be responsible for this charge. Sometimes the seller will agree to pay for the appraisal. The appraiser will call you (if you are refinancing) or the appropriate Real Estate Agent to make an appointment.
