From what I understand, which is very little by the way, the buyers went through a broker, and the lender denied them because their mortgage amount was more then what the house was appraised for. Why would they do that? Now, we're assuming they can reapply for a lesser amount?

do you mean that the appraisal value came in lower than purchase price?

no, the purchase price was less then the appraisal value, but they wanted to finance more.

banks will not decline on this...it's actually a good thing.

Not sure what you mean that they were trying to 'finance more'.

Lets just say the house was appraised for 440K, sale price was 420K, the buyers tried to finance 450K.

We think they wanted extra cash for closing costs.

doesn't sound good..if you get an other offer take it.

if they ask for an extension on the contract...give them a conditional contract that allows you to null the contract if another buyer comes with a higher bid

This couple has really been a nightmare. We went under contract with them in the beginning of Jan. Four weeks into it they walked because of unmet demands, then we relisted our home and 2 weeks later they asked to come back under contract. Thankfully, we refused to sign anything until they get their mortgage so we are still on the market until that happens.
