When it comes to buying or selling a home, one crucial step in the process is the appraisal. An appraisal is an evaluation of the property’s value conducted by a professional appraiser. This value is important for both the buyer and the lender, as it helps determine the amount of money that can be financed for the property. However, what happens when the appraisal comes in lower than the offer?<\/p>\n

What happens when the appraisal comes in lower than the offer?<\/b><\/p>\n

When the appraisal comes in lower than the offer, it can create a significant hurdle in the home buying process. This is because the lender will only finance up to the appraised value of the property. If the buyer still wants to move forward with the purchase, they have a few options to consider. One option is to renegotiate the purchase price with the seller to match the appraised value. Another option is for the buyer to make up the difference in cash between the appraised value and the offer price. If neither of these options is feasible, the buyer may need to walk away from the deal.<\/p>\n
