What appraisal results can mean for a purchase
An appraisal establishes an independent estimate of a home’s market value at a point in time. If the appraisal differs from the contract price, buyers and sellers can renegotiate, provide additional comparables, obtain a second appraisal, or adjust financing terms. Knowing typical responses ahead of time helps protect both parties and keeps the transaction moving.
