Should I skip a home appraisal?

Q: Do sellers usually lower their asking price after the appraisal?

• <div><p>In cases where an appraisal comes in lower than an offer price, sellers might opt to lower their asking price to meet the appraisal, especially if the market is slow, and replacing the offer with a higher one may take a long time. Sellers can also offer to make repairs to boost the appraised value, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-find-home-appraiser.htm">hire another appraiser</a> to get a second opinion, or just move on to another offer that isn&rsquo;t contingent on the buyer getting a mortgage or an appraisal inspection.</p></div>
