Thanks for this post. I wonder where property appraisal would be today if it hadn't been for the stock market crash in 2008. Thanks again. http://www.keystoneappraisals.ca

Keystone Appraisals: If the stock market hadn't tanked, the mortgage crisis hit, and resulted in near depression economy conditions, real estate values would be a lot higher. Property appraisal, on the other hand, has probably increased from a standards of practice perspective. Residential appraisal fees are lower due to increased competition, but appraisal standards are improving.
