Mountain View home appraisals in 24 hours

Signed desktop appraisals of Mountain View houses and condos, from your photos and the records, emailed within a day of payment.

Mountain View homes run from Old Mountain View bungalows near Castro Street to Eichlers in Monta Loma, ranch houses around Cuesta Park, and plenty of townhouses and condos from recent decades. I value them after a parent dies, in divorces and for Prop 19 transfers, and here the townhouse complex often matters as much as the unit itself.

What I look at in Mountain View

  1. 1

    In Monta Loma's Eichlers, I check the radiant floor heat, the low-slope roof, and whether a remodel changed the glass walls or open plan, since buyers here pay for the original idea done well.

  2. 2

    With so many townhouse and condo complexes, I compare within the same complex first, then check HOA dues, reserves, and planned work like roofs or siding before stepping outside it.

  3. 3

    I compare homes near Moffett Field, Highway 101 or the Caltrain tracks along Central Expressway with similar locations, since the hum of traffic or trains is priced in.

What to photograph

For a townhouse or condo, photograph the garage, patio, stairs and the view from your windows, plus the complex grounds. For a Monta Loma Eichler, add the glass walls, the roof and the radiant heating system.

Mountain View questions

How do you value a Mountain View townhouse when the complex has a big special assessment?
I compare it first with sales in the same complex, checking whether each sale happened before or after the assessment was announced, and whether the seller paid it or the buyer took it on. That's usually the clearest way to show how much the assessment moved prices there.
Our parents' Monta Loma Eichler is coming to us, what does Prop 19 need?
The assessor works from the market value on the transfer date, which for an inheritance is usually the date of death. I value the Eichler against Eichler sales from around then, and your tax advisor or the assessor uses that figure to apply the Prop 19 rules to your situation.
When would I get the report for a Mountain View home?
Within 24 hours of the moment I have both your payment and your photos, weekends and holidays included. If you're not in a rush, the regular schedule is 5–10 business days at $299 or $449.

“I've prepared desktop appraisals for every purpose on this list. Some situations still call for an in-person appraisal, though, so check with your attorney or tax advisor first to make sure a desktop report is right for yours.”
