<p><br/>Want to learn how to deal with a low home appraisal? In a competitive real estate market, a <br/>home being sold may enter into a multiple offer situation which could potentially raise the <br/>purchase price above the comparable sales in the area. In a situation like this, it is <br/>possible that the home appraisal for the buyer's mortgage lender will come in lower than <br/>the purchase price. In a real estate market that favors buyers (home prices are soft or <br/>declining), sellers can also face a home appraisal that is lower than what they paid for <br/>the home if they bought the house at the peak of the market. Be aware that a low home <br/>appraisal can happen in any type of real estate market.</p>
