Recent North Dakota case result
De-identified outcome from a North Dakota appraisal we handled. Settlement ranges reflect actual recoveries.
A Fargo driver's 2019 Honda CR-V EX-L was declared a total loss after a multi-vehicle collision. The carrier's CCC ONE valuation came in at $17,200, with three "fair" condition adjustments and two comps pulled from outside the North Dakota market. Our appraiser rebuilt the comp set using genuine North Dakota dealer inventory, corrected trim and option coding, and removed the unsupported condition deductions. Final settlement after appraisal: $21,300 — a +$4,100 increase, plus North Dakota sales tax and title fees paid on top.
