Good News!

More good news!  The appraisal came back today at $163,400.  The realtor says it’s a good thing because banks have been a bit conservative with the market being the way it is.  So we go in with $3,400 in equity.  Not too much but at least I know we’re buying the house for what it’s worth, especially considering it had been originally listed at $165,000. 

So now that the appraisal is in, we’re good to go.  Mom, in her infinite mortgage wisdom, said once it’s in, there’s very little that can mess things up or throw a monkey wrench into it.
