PRICE ADJUSTMENTS AND THE 2023 MARKET In March 2022, it was clear that the market was changing from a frenzied post-pandemic scene to one where it was assumed that rising mortgage rates would slow it down and help inventory finally rise back up.

For the past few years, with inventory at historically low levels , sellers were coming pretty close to naming their price and buyers were paying. The low rates made it possible to offer more on a home as the cost of borrowing was lower and therefore, sellers weren’t the ones competing, buyers were. The same will be true for sellers.

The appraiser must make sure that they are providing an impartial valuation so that the market value shown in the appraisal is as accurate as possible. While the agent acts on behalf of their seller, it is important for their pricing strategy to also be based on the most up-to-date and accurate market data.

The market area that the property is located in can definatley support the price but does the price truely reflect the market value of that specific property or does it reflect what a super motivated buyer with available funds is willing to pay? For sellers, this can be appealing, as it may justify a higher asking price.

You, the seller, the buyer, the lender—heck, even the mailman, are all shocked the deal has fallen apart. There is no law forbidding someone from paying more than the average market participant for a home unless the motive for doing so falls under money laundering, bribery, or some other equally nefarious scheme. What just happened?

For many different reasons, properties can come on the market in less-than-par condition. The degree and cost to cure becomes an issue to buyers and sellers, and a challenge for appraisers. At some point it’s no longer “normal market value minus cost to cure equals as-is value.”
