How do appraisals work for rural acreages?
Appraisers must find 'Comparable Sales' within a reasonable distance that have similar acreage.
In rural areas, this search can span 20-50 km. If there are no recent sales of similar sized lots, the lender may 'haircut' the value of any outbuildings or excess land to reduce their risk exposure.
