Appraised value is value given to a property by a certified and licensed real estate appraiser.
This value is usually established by using surrounding comparables and similar properties in a certain area and mile radius which have sold during a recent time.
Appraisals are deemed the final certified amount a property is worth and used by banks, insurance companies, and brokers to determine a suitable price point.
Appraisals could always be disputed but rarely do they get adjusted unless there are good comparables given when disputed.
