Blog > Why Do Appraisals Sometimes Come in Low?
Appraisals can come in low when recent comparable sales don’t support the agreed purchase price, often due to fast-moving markets or lack of nearby comps. Appraisers are bound by guidelines that may not capture unique features or current demand spikes. In these cases, buyers and sellers can challenge the appraisal, renegotiate, or adjust financing.
