From my attorney this morning
I was just informed that the bank has pulled the file for re-review of the appraisal. Apparently the area in which the house is located is deemed a “declining market area” and the bank has asked the appraiser to provide 2 recent comparables to which he must conduct a field review, site inspection and photo inspection, all of which is being conducted today. The appraisal was conducted well over 6 weeks ago. The bank has had the file for too long and is now re-reviewing as a direct result of the numerous delays in getting the fully executed contract…and the scheduling of a closing. We are fortunate that they have not asked for an entire new appraisal and are just requesting updated comparables.
The market has caused banks to be overcautious of their files and this is one of the many results.
The should hopefully be cleared up by Monday and we could still be able to close next week if things fall right.
I’ve already extended my lease into February. Assuming we close soon, that will give us time to get the floors refinished, clean and paint before we move in.
Complete bullshit. Is this costing you any more fees? I feel bad for you, this NY system is a joke. I bought my place in Fla over the phone.
Hi Gary
This is very common right now- If the appraiser needs more recent comps I have 3 Babylon homes closing on Wednesday. You can give him my number or have your agent call me if he needs data. I am always glad to help and good luck!
Thanks, Georgia. I just got the final clearance from the bank two hours ago. So we’re cleared to close. Woot!
Now I just need to get the sellers out from California and to the closing table.
telltale clue…you gave up your new home’s location with the CA reference!!! good luck, and a good choice imho.
side note to GW..what’s the asking prices for the new development at Park/Carll?? Thanks.
I think it’s kind of an open secret at this point, Blog.
you done good. I’d like to think I had some suggestive power….lol
