Where is the appraisal? When was it done? For what purpose?When it’s sold for almost twice it’s appraised value that raises red flags.
I've been a Realtor for over 40 years. During record-breaking run-up in prices, appraisers had a hard time keeping up with prices. Increases you cited were common. People were buying just to not be left behind. Like a pyramid scheme, those that got in early, 2001-2004 made a bundle if they sold. Those that got in late, unless they could afford to sit with the property, lost a bundle.
