You’ve finally found the perfect buyer & excited to have gotten the $300,000 that you asked for your old place. Now it is time for the all-important home appraisal. What most people don’t realize is that should your home appraisal be too low then your potential buyer regardless of how much they are willing to pay may lose out on the loan that they were planning to get to make this purchase. Let’s say you asked for $300,000 and the buyer was going to pay $50,000 down with a $250,000 loan to cover the rest. If your home is appraised at $200,000 (not covering the $250,000 loan) then there is a good chance that the potential buyer will lose out on the loan that they planned on. From the bank’s point of view, an appraisal that is under the asked loan amount is just too big of a risk to take on. Banks these days just aren’t going to cover the difference for any family. So what can you do to ensure that your home is appraised at its full potential? If you would like additional help or have questions please don’t hesitate to Contact Us
