It is generally recommended to wait until after a home inspection before ordering an appraisal because the inspection can provide valuable information about the condition of the property that could affect its value.

During a home inspection, a professional inspector will thoroughly examine the property to identify any issues or defects that may need to be addressed. This could include problems with the electrical or plumbing systems, the roof, the foundation, or other important components of the home.

If an appraisal is ordered before the inspection, the appraiser may not have access to all of this information, which could lead to an inaccurate appraisal. For example, if the appraiser does not know about a leaky roof or a faulty electrical system, they may overvalue the property. Conversely, if the appraiser is aware of these issues, they may undervalue the property.

By waiting until after the inspection, the appraiser will have a more complete understanding of the property and can take any necessary repairs or improvements into account when determining its value. This can help ensure a more accurate appraisal and a better understanding of the property's true worth.
