I need to call on the collective minds of Arfcom. I am being transferred, and have a relocation company offering a buyout on my home. The comps include two foreclosures that recently sold near my home, and brought the buyout offer way down.
Is there any kind of industry standard, or any studies done to determine the average cost of repair/renovation for a foreclosed home? Typically the homes are damaged, have missing items, etc. I know it goes on a house by house basis, just wondering if there is a flat number or a formula to determine what is the average cost to repair a foreclosed home. I have to prepare an appeal for the appraised value of my home, and need all the ammo I can get. I am consulting my realtor, but I thought I would try here.
FYI, 3000 sq ft home, 4 years old, 4br 2 1/2 bath in metro Atlanta.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
