According to our loan processor, the appraisal for our unit has been completed. The unit's appraised at approx. 18.75% above the total purchase price. We were also told that they may begin the final walkthroughs in mid to late February.

Thanks A&E,

When you say 'total purchase price' do you mean the price you are paying, the price+closing costs, or the price+ the money the city is sponsoring, about $100K per unit?

I meant the price + the money the city is sponsoring. We should receive a copy of the appraisal by the end of the week. Hoping that the closings are in March as projected.

Yesterday, I got my appraisal report and my unit was appraised for $365K 1 bd room. The listed price including the subsidy is 372K. Comparable units are $330k - 379K. I'm not sure if this is good.

May I ask what kind of unit you are buying and what was your original purchase price? I am getting a two bedroom at the highest purchase price and hope it appraises for just enough so I won't have to pay for mortgage insurance.

Is your bank willing to still give you the loan? I have been looking at area comps for two bedrooms for months and they are in the 600k range. Perhaps they will seek a second appraisal?
