Would you trust this appraisal? We are refinancing and the bank appraised our place about 30 percent more than we paid for it two years ago. We're in Brooklyn. Normally, I thought the bank's estimates/appraisals were far less than a realator's but I ht thought the market had at least evened out/gone down and worried the bank is evaluating it high simply so we can get the mortgage. Would a bank do that in this market? Am I making sense? Just worried the bank is appraising it higher than it is.
