Actually, what seems funny is the fact that both times it appraised for exactly what the sales price was. Probably just the practice, but such accuracy is dubious to the layman (like me).
If I were auditing appraisals, I’d look at the ones that came in right at sales price first. Of course, if that really meant anything, the practice would just change to come within some percentage of sales price and *not* hit the exact number.
