Among the many other dramas of the month was the appraisal of our house, which we bought for 170k about six years ago. (Through the bank. We've never had 170k lying around.)
Anyway, we've put a lot of work into the house/yard (my mother is an avid gardener, and ... remodeller), with new floors and such, and we were all super stressed about the appraisal for the last several months. The appraiser was really nice, and turns out to have appraised it when it was foreclosed on some ten years back, so he knew exactly what it looked like before we fixed it up. So we were hopeful of a good appraisal and all, but of course you never know.
It came in today and he appraised it for 261k!!!!
