I just need an opinion here. I appraised a bank owned property. The exterior of the property was in fair to average condition. No repairs needed - just some minor peeling paint and clean up. The interior was in below average condition. There were half a dozen fist sized holes in the drywall. The carpet was extensively and severely stained and worn. Two of the hollow core doors had basketball sized holes in them. There were leaks in two fixtures. The paint was very worn and even had spray painted grafetti on them. All of the appliances had been removed. Molding has worn, peeling paint. Some molding was torn out and missing.
I rated this home in fair condition. I have had the mortgage originator, the buyer and even the lender trying to pressure me into changing this to average condition. They are trying to tell me the home should be rated as average. The subject neighborhood is a nice area with most homes in average to good condition.
The interior of this home is one of the worst I have seen. I'm I out of touch with reality - should a home is this condition be rated as average!
Thanks for your input
