Or if there is another 3/1.5 but the square footage was larger and it was $250k, then after making the proper adjustments for the extra bath or the extra square footage, then you have a better chance of getting that $240k appraisal.If the appropriate comps are not out there, then your agent should be aware of that and make you aware of what the appraisal is likely to come back at.

Fees and rates you mentioned should be in line with a typical conventional mortgage, unless there are customary fees at closing specific to your area that I'm not aware of.
