What Happens If the Appraisal Comes in Low?
What buyers and sellers need to know when a deal hits a common obstacle
In a real estate transaction, the appraisal is one of the most important steps.
When buying or selling a home in Texas, the lender orders an appraisal to confirm the property’s value. But sometimes, the appraisal comes in lower than the agreed purchase price.
When that happens, it can affect financing and put the deal at risk.
There are a few ways to handle it. The buyer can cover the difference, the seller can adjust the price, or both parties can renegotiate the terms.
While a low appraisal can feel stressful, it doesn’t always mean the deal is over.
Having the right strategy and guidance can help both sides find a solution and keep the transaction moving forward.
