Why Get a Real Estate Appraisal During a Divorce?
Determining the value of real estate can be an important consideration when navigating the division of marital assets.
An online property estimate, comparative market analysis, or informal opinion may not provide the depth of research and independent professional analysis required for a complex legal or financial matter.
A professional real estate appraisal provides an objective opinion of value developed through careful property research, relevant market data, and professional judgment.
A divorce property appraisal may be requested when:
-
One party plans to remain in the home
-
A property may be sold
-
One party may buy out the other party’s interest
-
Multiple real estate assets are involved
-
Investment properties must be valued
-
Commercial real estate is part of the marital estate
-
Attorneys or other professionals need an independent property valuation
-
A current or historical opinion of value is needed
-
Questions arise regarding the value of a property
SkyCrest Appraisals provides credible property valuations designed to help clients and their professional advisors better understand the value of real estate involved in a divorce matter.

The Importance of an Objective Divorce Property Valuation
Divorce matters can involve competing interests, difficult decisions, and significant financial considerations.
The role of the real estate appraiser is not to advocate for either party or determine how property should be divided.
The appraiser’s responsibility is to develop an independent and impartial opinion of value supported by credible market evidence and professional analysis.
Depending on the property and appraisal assignment, the valuation process may include consideration of:
-
Property location and surrounding market area
-
Recent comparable property sales
-
Current or historical market conditions
-
Property size, age, design, and condition
-
Renovations and improvements
-
Site characteristics
-
Zoning and land use considerations
-
Rental rates and income information
-
Property-specific characteristics
-
The effective date of the appraisal
-
Other relevant factors that may influence value
SkyCrest Appraisals approaches every divorce appraisal with professionalism, objectivity, and careful attention to the specific requirements of the assignment.
Understanding Property Value at the Right Point in Time
Not every divorce appraisal requires an opinion of a property’s current market value.
Depending on the circumstances of the legal matter, an appraisal may need to develop an opinion of value as of a specific date in the past.
Current Property Appraisals
A current appraisal develops an opinion of a property’s value as of a present effective date based on relevant property information and current market evidence.
Retrospective Property Appraisals
A retrospective appraisal develops an opinion of value as of a specified historical date.
This type of appraisal may require research into comparable sales, market conditions, property characteristics, and other relevant information that existed as of the effective date.
Because every legal matter is different, clients should consult with their attorney or other appropriate professional regarding the type of appraisal and effective date needed for their specific situation.
