The house appraised for 50K less than our offer!

Hello everybody,

I would love some advice at what to do at this point. We’re in Dallas if that gives any insight.

The house was listed at 520K and our agent told us that the comps show it at around 540 and suggested that we need to put an offer of at least 550K. We’ve put good offers above asking price before, but we’ve been beat so many times already.

We put an offer for 551K with a full waiver and it was accepted, yay! Inspection came back really good. They can’t move out until beginning of February as they are waiting for their house to be built. They will be leasing back the house for the extra time.

The house was appraised for 495K. We’re so confused about this and not sure what to do. Our closing is next week. We are already putting down 170K. There’s no way we can make up for that extra 50K.

Is there a way to negotiate? If not should we just back out and lose our earnest money?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! 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...
