Barndos to Domes: Appraising Unconventional Homes – Course Description  

In today’s market, homes don’t always look like homes, and appraisers are increasingly asked to make sense of the unconventional. Barndos to Domes: Appraising Unconventional Homes is a three-hour continuing education course built for real estate appraisers facing the growing trend of atypical residential properties. As steel-framed barndominiums, dome homes, earthships, and live/work hybrids gain popularity, understanding how to classify and credibly value these structures is more critical than ever. 

This course equips you with the tools to tackle appraisal challenges where traditional comparables fall short. You’ll explore form selection dilemmas, marketability risks, and lender hesitations, alongside strategies for meeting USPAP, ANSI®, and GSE requirements. Through real-world examples, you’ll learn how to clearly document your methodology, apply the cost approach when needed, and support your conclusions with confidence, even when the subject property defies the norm.
