If people are willing to pay more than what most houses are selling for, are there amenities that the other homes don't have? Wouldn't the appraiser adjust for those ameneties?
I always hated that practice. As a buyer, when I buy a home the appraiser is one of the team of people (along with the home inspector and title company) I expect to help protect me from making a bad decision. If that has changed, I'm very happy.
But I hope they aren't too dogmatic. Some houses are worth more than others, it's part of their job to be able to sort out the differences between comparable sales.
