Why do home purchase appraisals come in at the exact purchase price agreed to by the seller / buyer?

215 views

We made an offer on a home and we’re through the inspection / attorney review and the appraisal comes back at the EXACT amount we offered. Now, I’m the buyer here, so right or wrong, I feel like we overpaid to win the bid. Why does this happen? How on earth does it appraise to the exact amount?

Because you determined it’s worth by buying the house. Sorry man, but your property tax will now be based on your purchase price and the appraisal will likely increase by 2% per year.
