<prompt> Human: I reside in Virginia. Im in the process of closing on a house. The bank appraisal came back and I noted that the appraised sq ft is 227sq ft less than what was advertised by the seller. What should be my course of action? Any advice is greatly appreciated.  <response>: Usually there is a provision that requests the buyer confirm the square footage. What is the total square footage? 227 sqft on a 5000sqft house is much different than a 1000sqft house. Did the appraisal come back higher than the asking price? No matter what you have recourse, but it may be that you walk.
