Things to look out for on value reductions for appraisals are noise/busy streets, condition, amenities like pools and views, and age can all factor in on appraisals.

E.g. if a broker takes a 1% reduction in commission, that doesn't mean the borrower gets a 1% reduction in rate. 

But with $300K in loans at the time, a reduction of 6% would only take me a month to make the money back.That was years ago, and  currently,  I have private banking accounts at two different banks.

Negotiation was favorable in the buyer's case and thus he/she will have a reduction in closing costs.

The weight of the cabinets, particularly a loaded down sink cabinet, can create pinch points that pull the seams apart on floating floors.

I think having a great banker who is knowledgable and prompt and can be a confidant is worth its weight in gold.

Even if say rent was 50% of market, that wouldn't justify a 50% reduction in my offer...I know what it should be and since it's just a couple units I can get it there within 2-3 months (assuming lease dates allow). 

(c) If after a casualty loss the rental premises are partially unusable for residential purposes and if the casualty loss is not caused by the negligence or fault of the tenant, a member of the tenant's family, or a guest or invitee of the tenant, the tenant is entitled to reduction in the rent in an amount proportionate to the extent the premises are unusable because of the casualty, but only on judgment of a county or district court.

For homes that have fantasy Make Me Move prices on them initially, yes they sit longer, and have lots of price reductions.

There is only one other (and only one other) market in the world that can support the weight of the world's economy and that is the UK.
