Some reasons why you may want a current appraisal of the value of your property:
PMI- Tired of paying private mortgage insurance? An appraisal can tell if it's still necessary.
Home Equity Credit - Appraisal will let you know what kind of equity you hav built up.
Home Inprovements - Curios how that has affected the value?
Property Tax - Feeling the sting of high property taxes? An appraisal is the first step in disputing thier assessment.
Changing Market - If you're wondering how you've affected by the changing market, an appraisal will tell you.
If you want to know what it is really worth, an appraisal is you best option. Those hyped up, 'automatic' calculators and websites don't know what your house is like, and they have never been to your neighborhood.
