months and the bank will not accept anything less than 350K/ Where can I get info to show that it is ridiculous to get even close to that so close to geneva Avenue when other houses have sold for less than 200K?

Thank you

You need to have your bank order a new Broker's Price Opinion to show that there are lots of lower priced
houses in & around the area. They are using comps on the south side of your neighborhood, not the north side. Your house is in a unique area - one that can appraise high using Melville Park area comps or the more reasonable comps in the area you mentioned...It totally depends on where they get the comps from. A realtor can help you with comparable properties, as our MLS is full of short sales & foreclosures. Whether or not your bank is reasonable is a question we can't answer!

Best of Luck!
