(Feel free to send me the appraisal and I'll take a look... but I'm certain that comp #2 is the problem)One way to fix this is to call the appraiser and tell him something like, "Hey, yeah, I saw that house before it was sold... man, that place was a total wreck.

Around here it will not take long for someone to notice & possible break in & really wreck the place.
