It's almost like neither of them feel the sale is worth working for.
it sounds like they all learned to negotiate at touchy feelings school for the hopelessly emotional involvement...challenged

*shrug*
Just needed a place to blow off steam, frankly. It is what it is. Even Nik's grumpy old man insults are sort of comforting in a "leveling you out" sort of way.
I personally think somewhere between the two appraisals is the "valid" value based on the area and price history of similar homes in the neighborhood.
I am within my rights to walk away and I'm exercising those rights, end of story, and my hand money is coming back to me. I'm out the inspection money, but I guess that's the price of doing business, for better or worse.
I don't have this odd obsession with "value" Nik seems to have. I know what I can get for that house or one similar in rental, even if I move out of it, and the chances of me ever selling the house again were minimal. Given I'm not opening my personal finances and situation to him and only giving the details of the sale, his stance is perfectly reasonable.

look....you probably got far enough into the process to have the bank give you a idea what the monthly payment was going to be, multiply that number by the total number of payments, THEN take the amount you are quibbling over and divide it by the first number to get the percentage
let's say for arguments sake it's under 2% ok?
if you are going to go buy a doughnut for a dollar and cashier says the price is $1.02 are you going to argue about it?

Since this place has turned into Real Estate Talk™, informal poll question: sell my old/current house while the market in this neighborhood is spiking, or rent it out? I can weather the two mortgages pretty much indefinitely, so that part isn't a concern.
I already know what we're most likely to do, but I'm curious what the denizens of the Kingdom would do.

Give you said it's like 5 hours away, unless you want to pay someone to manage it, I say sell high. If you're close enough to keep tabs on it yourself though, I'd probably rent as you can rent houses for far more monthly than a standard mortgage payment, at least around here. It's why I'm buying in the first place. I want a house and I'm not paying twice what a mortgage payment is to not own the house eventually.
That will probably be met from Nik with disdain and ridicule validated by some sage wisdom he heard from some old trick down in Naw'lins, but that's my hot take.

ok wow so many factors
My old pops flip/rent houses for a living so if you do to and so therefore you have an LLC all set up already with all your rental docs and insurance etc in place and a corporate buffer between you and the clients and the ability to convey an I JUST WORK FOR THE COMPANY attitude and you are comfortable with people destroying your home and you are super handy with repairs and you have accounts with all the building material suppliers (that does not mean lowes and home depot) and you think the neighborhood will hold up for twenty more years then I say hold onto it and go long.
if you don't have one of any of these things I say sell.

Besides, that would give me a nice place to pass out.
Spath may have been the one to poke you with a stick. He hasn't decided yet.

Problem with renting out is that you also have to fix stuff and I've seen a lot of people leave houses messy and damaged when they move out. I'd go with selling it, if you don't need the money then BOOM! Kid's college fund. >.>
But if you're listening to my (or anyone in Ni's) advice, you have bigger problems than what to do with a house.

Depends on a lot of different factors and your own personal preference on what you want out of it as much as your willing to put into it. Personally I'd just sell it as dealing with the whole rental process, maintaining renters and the individual *** themselves is something I'm not willing to deal with.
I'm with flav. renters are the worst.
