The actual cost of a home appraisal depends largely on the size of a home and the extent of the appraisal. The standard appraisal rate is between $300 and $700 in 2010. Appraisers, though, generally charge more for larger homes and more valuable homes.
The appraisal, which involves an inspection of the home's condition and features and determines a market value, is intended for the sole benefit of the buyer's lender. The buyer typically covers the appraisal, which costs an average of $412 in California, according to a 2012 Bankrate.com survey.
