Strictly speaking, the home appraisal is valid on the day it is signed and dated. The courts and the IRS generally recognize an appraisal as valid if it is less than a few months old. As a general rule of thumb, an appraisal should be considered out of date if it is more than six months old, under most market conditions. When prices are changing quickly, as they have over the last few years, even six months is too long. The value of your home can change the next day due to outside conditions. A free way is going to be built in front of your home. A person living next door is murdered in his home. These are unlikely and exaggerated conditons, of course. Generally, real estate values change in an orderly fashion determined by larger market conditions.

I assume you mean it was a gift or inheritance? You calculate your capital gain by subtracting the adjusted basis from the net sales price and if that's a profit, you pay tax. If you lived in the house and owned it for at least two of the previous five years, the first $250,000 of profit is tax-free ($500,000 if married filing jointly and your spouse also lived there for two years). Your basis is determined differently depending on whether it was a gift or inheritance and, in the case of gifts, depending on whether the house was worth more or less on the date of the gift than the donor paid for it. If you have recently received a gift of a house, in order to properly calculate your taxes you should obtain the donor's records before the donor throws them away. You will need to know how much the donor paid for the house and how much he paid for capital improvements while he owned it. If you don't get these records, you will overpay your taxes when you sell. You will also need to get an appraisal done of the value of the house as of the gift date. Don't put off getting the appraisal. Getting one ten or twenty years from now will be really expensive. If you inherited the house, you will need an appraisal of the value of the house as of the date of death and to find out if any estate taxes were paid. If an estate tax return was filed, the executor probably already had one done. If not, you should get a "retroactive" appraisal from a licensed appraisor.
