Updated everything, granite, ceramic tile, wet bar in basement, etc.We put house #2 on the market and got it under contract literally in 12 HOURS for $113,000.The appraiser comes in and says we're all good.Then the file gets flagged for review - we're told this is a formality.Then, they come in and throw out all the comps that had any value, and tell us the only legitimate comp is a house a MILE away that sold for $95K.
