Unless the homeowner makes a career out of studying real estate values, like a professional appraiser does, it's practically impossible for them to understand local real estate values.

This isn't a discussion of the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you need to get for it. Instead, the appraisal measures how much your home will bring on the open market.
