We're supposed to close in 3 weeks on October 4. We were waiting to hear back about the appraisal, and my husband called the VA loan officer to ask. The appraiser has been to the house and requested more information about the house to justify our offer on it. The loan officer didn't sound too worried about the situation, but when we asked about how long it would be before we found out, he said it wasn't uncommon to not have a final response about the appraisal until a few days before closing.
If they determine that the house is worth less, and the seller won't negotiate, we will be out over $1,000 for the inspections and appraisal. That will leave us with less than 60 days to find a new place to live, or at least a temporary place to live that's affordable that will allow our cats to come with us.
It will all work out, though. It's just stressful in the meantime. At least I'll be back in Houston in less than 2 weeks so I can deal with this stuff in person instead of long distance.
