Appraisal Blues

I usually just lurk, but we finally got an offer accepted after 2 months and need to vent. We bid $15K over list, based on other recently sold homes in the area, the home appeared worth it. We did not waive any inspection or appraisal contingencies. We had the house inspected and it was mainly minor issues, with one semi-major issue with the support beams under the home.

We asked for the seller to fix that issue, while we were waiting on a response to that, our mortgage broker informed us the house had a FHA appraisal in the last 6 months, and the appraisal was 35K under our offer price and 20K under list price.

So now we are screwed over because we are doing a FHA loan and seller will not entertain offer at FHA appraisal price. It sucks they should have never accepted our offer knowing it was FHA when they just had a FHA appraisal under their list price.

So now we are out the cost of the inspection and back to the drawing board in this market.

I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
