This is a difficult question to answer because it largely depends on experience and market conditions. Generally speaking, however, real estate appraisers can make a good living. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the median annual wage for real estate appraisers was $56,490 in 2016. Of course, top earners can make much more than this.

It depends on your experience and the market you work in. An appraiser with less than five years of experience can expect to make around $50,000 per year. With more than 10 years of experience, an appraiser can make upwards of $100,000 per year. Keep in mind that these are just ballpark figures and can vary greatly depending on your location and the size and complexity of the assignments you take on.
