Hi Andrew, I didn't know we had any appraisers on here.As you know, it's vaguely naughty for me to talk to appraisers IRL because of the concern that I will attempt to influence appraised value of something.I do have a question that's been itching my brain, if you wouldn't mind.It struck me not too long ago that the appraisal fee is the same here in the high cost of living Bay Area as it is in dirt poor rural California (in most cases).

Hawaii's market is really unpredictable as well, so attempting to forecast is folly IMO.
