North Park / University Heights, San Diego home appraisals in 24 hours

Signed desktop appraisals of North Park / University Heights houses and condos, from your photos and the records, emailed within a day of payment.

North Park and University Heights are blocks of 1910s to 1930s Craftsman bungalows and Spanish Revival houses, many on alleys, with 1960s apartment buildings mixed in and canyon-rim homes looking over Mission Valley. I get calls here for trusts and probate, and from owners deciding what an alley ADU or a restored bungalow adds, and I work from your photos and records.

What I look at in North Park / University Heights

  1. 1

    In Burlingame and the historic districts, I note designation and any Mills Act contract, and I separate a carefully restored bungalow from a flipped one with new finishes and old wiring.

  2. 2

    Alley access matters here. A garage off a North Park alley can become an ADU, so I check what's built, what's permitted, and whether sales nearby show buyers paying for a second unit.

  3. 3

    On the canyon rims of University Heights, I weigh views over Mission Valley against slope and brush, and I compare with other rim homes, not the flat streets a block away.

What to photograph

Start with the front porch and the street, then the built-ins, fireplace, wood floors and original windows. Add the alley side, the garage or back unit inside and out, and the view if you're on a canyon rim.

North Park / University Heights questions

Should we get an appraisal before building an ADU off our North Park alley?
It can help you plan. I'll value the house as it stands today, which gives you a clear starting point, and I can value it again once the unit is finished and permitted. In North Park, sales of bungalows with back units help show what buyers pay for that second home.
What do you need from me to appraise Dad's University Heights house for probate?
The address, the date of death, and photos of every room, the outside and the back of the lot, including any canyon view over Mission Valley or alley unit. Add the attorney's contact if you have one, and I'll value the University Heights house as of the date of death, plus today if the estate needs both.
When would I get the report for a North Park / University Heights 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.”
