PMI Removal Appraisal

Most homeowners with a balance on their mortgage loan in excess of 80% of their property value are paying mortgage insurance.  As market value increases over time, along with periodic payments made to he existing mortgage, this loan-to-value ratio will eventually drop below that 80% threshold.  When this happens the homeowner can typically submit evidence (an appraisal) to the lender, and the PMI can be removed from the monthly payment.  This can free up hundreds of dollars per month form the cost of your mortgage.

At Bridgeport Appraisal, we offer a free initial consultation with a subsequent, low cost market analysis of your neighborhood, to see if a full appraisal would serve your needs.  This market analysis fee will be credited toward the appraisal fee if the full appraisal is ordered within 10 days of the market analysis.
