When the Appraisal Comes in Low (Your 4 Options and How to Decide)
<p>The appraisal came in below your purchase price — don't panic. Michael walks through your four options for handling an appraisal gap and how to negotiate a solution without letting emotions drive a costly mistake.</p> <p>Your 4 Options Bring extra cash to closing — cover the gap yourself. Best when the gap is small and won't drain your savings. Negotiate the price down — ask the seller to meet the appraised value. Works best in a buyer's market or when the seller is motivated. Meet in the middle — split the difference. Often the most realistic solution for both sides. Walk away — invoke your appraisal contingency and get your earnest money back. The right call when the gap is too large or the seller won't budge.</p> <p>Next Episode Episode 22: The Final Walk-Through — what to check before closing to make sure the home is in the condition you agreed to.</p> <p>Subscribe to Money Moves with Michael so you never miss an episode.</p> <hr> <p>This podcast is hosted by <a href="https://wwww.zencast.fm">ZenCast.fm</a></p>
