Hi Staylor,

It's true that the property's selling price and appraised value should be same. Otherwise it would not be profitable to buy the property. If the appraised value of the property is less than the selling price, then you should negotiate with the seller to reduce the price of the property.

well, actually in this case, since you're the seller, STaylor, the buyer will likely come back to you to renegotiate in the event the appraised value is less than the agreed-upon price. your deal, as it stands, seems to be $172500, less the $3500 in costs, giving you a net of $169000. you're hoping for an appraised value of at least $172500.

i hope that's the way you understand this contract you've entered into.
