You didn't answer my question.

Name one instance where somebody with a weapon, other than a gun, walked into a public place and murdered 20-30 people.

If the homes that have SOLD are in that range (assuming same style, yr built, sq ft, rooms etc) then you should be fine. Appraisers will adjust for value based on condition of the home, however they can only adjust so far. Homes that are listed don't mean anything to an appraiser or you. I can list a home tomorrow for a million, but it won't mean anything in regards to value. The banks lend money based on what has sold. Appraisers assign value the same way.

I guess my eyes are getting old...I totally misread what you wrote. If the house is paid off you're in great shape. I highly doubt any reasonable person would turn it down if the number came in low. Why would they? If they want to move on with their life they would sell it for what it's worth and that's it.

Down here I see a lot of deals that can't move forward because the appraisal is short and the sellers mortgage is higher. I've also seen sellers, who must completely be on drugs, asking 50k above market value (because they are upside down) and asking for "Cash only" (Because no bank will give a loan over value.) I can't blame them for trying...but it ain't never gonna happen.

Sounds like you'll probably be fine. You certainly don't have to worry if it comes in light now. Unless the guy is a nut, which he doesn't appear to be.

Yes and how many random attacks does Norway have? Please. We are armed to the max here, millions of guns, yet we can't stop these endless attacks. The right wing shitheads answer to this is "more guns" and no regulation. Idiots!

Again, we have people getting shot that are surrounded my highly trained men with guns. Ronald Reagan, surrounded by Secret Service men was still shot. Explain to me how arming everybody makes a difference?

Giffords was shot in public in one of the most pro gun states of this country. There is no doubt that people at that event were packing heat, yet some how nobody was able to defend her. Why is this?

Some logic...

The mentally ill person could cause no harm if they didn't have a trigger to pull in the first place, much less one attached to an assault weapon.

What is more logical to address right now? Mental illness or their ridiculously easy access to firearms?

Perhaps you can point out the last time somebody with a knife walked into a movie theater and killed two dozen people in one swoop? Please...I'm all ears.

So if we enacted gun laws that stopped the sale of guns that spray out 50 bullets at a time that would not make a difference?

If we enacted laws that required stricter mental health evaluation that wouldn't make a difference?

Surely even you could understand these simple ideas.
