LET’S TALK APPRAISALS!
You found the house. You made the offer. The seller accepted.
But there’s one more important piece: the appraisal.
An appraisal helps determine whether the home’s value supports the price you agreed to pay.
There are 3 possible outcomes:
- Above the purchase price — The home appraises for more than you agreed to pay. Great news! 🎉
- At the purchase price — The appraisal supports the price you agreed to pay. Everything is aligned.
- Below the purchase price — The home appraises for less than the agreed purchase price. This can create an appraisal gap and may require additional negotiation or funds, depending on your contract and financing
—The important part? Don’t wait until you’re under contract to learn how appraisals work.
That’s one of the reasons I created The Buyer’s Playbook—to help first-time buyers understand the process, know what to expect, and make more confident decisions from pre-planning through post-closing.
If buying your first home is on your goal list, this is a guide you’ll want BEFORE you start the journey.
