Did your home appraisal come in lower than the agreed-upon price?
That’s a serious headache.
Nothing disrupts a home sale quite like an appraisal that doesn’t match the contract price — especially when the buyer is relying on a loan. Lenders won’t finance a home for more than its appraised value, which can leave sellers in a tough spot.
But don’t worry — it might still be possible to close the deal. Here are a few things to consider:
- Talk to the Buyer – See if they’re willing to move forward at the original price, even if it means covering the gap out of pocket.
- Renegotiate – If the buyer can’t or won’t pay the original price, ask them to submit a new offer that matches the appraised value.
- Adjust Your Price – Sometimes the best move is to lower your asking price to reflect the new appraisal and keep the sale moving forward.
Or… maybe you’re ready to skip the hassle entirely.
