I put in an offer in on a place and got ‘countered’. Smells like bs and I’m inclined to walk. Here’s the new term (spelling errors included):
“item 3,c,1, to be prevailing rates at COE, Appriasal to be completed and a certified copy of same to be delivered to seller within 10 days after seller acceptance (not short sale bank’s accaptance). This is a short sale. Price terms and closing costs subject to short sale lender approval. Ernest money deposit to be deposited into escrow upon seller acceptance, not short sale bank approval.”
Sounds like they don’t think it’ll appraise at the offered number, want me to pay to find out AND want earnest money before the bank makes any decisions.
They are trying to make you more committed to the purchase to decrease the odds you dont wait for the approval. i wouldnt pay for an appraisal as the approval could take months and there is a chance it wont even be usable by the time it is approved so you would end up paying for a second one.

Thank you! That’s an excellent point I hadn’t thought of. $3k is alot of money to me. I can’t have it tied up hoping that the bank will eventually get back to ne and miss out on other (hoepfully better) opportunities.

FWIW if you have the money its OK putting it in escrow because it ties them to you as a buyer also which is good for you if you want the house. I just wouldnt pay for an appraisal
