Has the entire world gone mad? How is it that you can actually enter into an agreement with someone for a purchase price and then an arbitrary entity can come along and tell you that the price you agreed upon is ridiculous?
I sold my house. We went back and forth with an offer, a counter offer, a counter to the counter offer, a counter offer to the counter offer and then a final number. All the documents were signed. Both parties are happy, we’re ready to go forward and THEN the appraiser comes in. (I feel like there should be some music in the background going duh, dun, dun). And the appraiser says, sorry….that price is too high. The house isn’t worth that much. What happened to good old supply and demand? I obviously thought it was worth that much, and the buyer obviously thought it was worth that much…how dare a third party come along and tell us we were both wrong! What the H_ _ _ is this world coming to? So now I have a house I sold, or didn’t really sell… a new house I bought, but can’t buy because I haven’t really sold my current house, movers who can’t move me, carpet layers who can’t come in and lay new carpet, painters who can’t come paint, and on and on and on…..
We really wonder how we got into the mess we are in? How many other people like me are out there? Makes you stop and think, doesn’t it?
