How can I find out what my house appraised for?

Ask your lender for a copy. Federal rules require the lender to provide the appraisal as soon as reasonably possible, but no later than three days before closing. The lender typically orders the appraisal, and the borrower cannot be charged a fee for copies of it. Under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, lenders automatically send homebuyers a free copy of the appraisal and other written valuations after completion.
