I had my home appraised two years ago for refiancing @ $330,000.

Now I am refinancing again and the appraisal was $265,000. Why such a huge difference? I was told there should be only a 6% drop in difference.

Sterling Heights has seen a 28-30% drop in property values. Not sure where or who told you 6% but that is not the case. As you know, there is a large number of bank owned homes being sold for as little as $.50 on the dollar and this also contributes to your homes value being so much lower.

Recent sales and comparables in the area may have skewed the appraisal. 6% is low for many markets in current economic climate. Adjustments may have to be made here.

Do not despair. Market cycles are inevitable.

Dear Mary Anne,

I'm not sure where you received the 6% number. Even so, some areas have been hit harder than others. I can provide you sales and statistical info as I cover your area.
