An appraisal is a formal assessment typically conducted by a certified appraiser to determine a property's value for mortgage purposes.
A valuation, on the other hand, is an estimate provided by real estate professionals to help guide buying or selling decisions.
While appraisals focus on satisfying lender requirements, valuations consider broader market trends and buyer sentiment to establish a suitable selling price.
