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.
Appraisal costs vary widely, says Scott Robinson, president of the Appraisal Institute, the nation's largest professional association of real estate appraisers. Appraisals typically can cost a homebuyer anywhere from a few hundred to several hundred dollars, Robinson says.
