Low appraisals can feel like a curveball, but they don't have to be a home-run for the other side! ⚾🏠
In this week’s Real Estate Q&A, we’re tackling the big question: What happens if the appraisal comes in lower than the purchase price? While it might seem like a deal-breaker, you actually have several ways to keep the dream alive!
🛠️ Your Low Appraisal Game Plan:
Renegotiate: The buyer and seller can meet in the middle or adjust the price to match the appraisal.
Bridge the Gap: The buyer has the option to bring additional funds to the table to cover the difference.
The Exit Strategy: If you're protected by an appraisal contingency, the buyer may choose to terminate the deal without penalty.
The goal is always to find a win-win that gets everyone to the closing table! 🤝✨
