Unless the homeowner studies real estate values on a day to day basis, like a professional appraiser does, it's difficult for them to understand the nuances of real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or how much you want for it. Rather, an appraisal assesses the true market value of your home.
