It happens from time to time. The home appraisal comes in LOW

With how quickly this market is appreciating, comparable sales can be lagging, which causes what we call an “appraisal gap.”

What can you do in this situation?

IF YOU’RE A BUYER:

Submit recent comps to your appraiser for consideration
Add appraisal gap coverage to your offer
Waive the appraisal contingency (in some cases)

IF YOU’RE A SELLER:

Don’t accept an offer solely on price
Look at a buyer’s mortgage qualifications
Look at conditions – such as waived contingencies

Curious how much your home has appreciated over the last year?!

Buyer demand is at an all-time high due to a combination of record-low interest rates and limited housing inventory. Here’s what that means for sellers…

You have gained equity
You’ll likely earn a great ROI
You won’t have a lot of competition
You’re in a strong position to negotiate terms

It’s important to remember that real estate is LOCAL, not national. If you want to know what home appreciation is looking like for a specific area, message our team!
