I guess the question might be why did you have an appraisal done? Usually this is handled by the real estate people and they make it work. Were you buying a FSBO?

Also property values have been escalating lately so quickly that the appraisers might not have the comps to back up recent pricing. I'm sure I could get 50K more for my house today than what the comps show because a lot of the comps reflect short sales.
