⚠️ REALITY CHECK – The $2.2 Million Offer Is Dead on Arrival
| Item | Amount / Reality |
|---|---|
| Current asking price | $3,900,000 |
| Fair market value (2024–2025 comps) | $3.75M – $4.0M |
| Recent sale 1.5 mi away (Aug 2025) | $356/SF → $3.4M+ for similar location |
| Seller’s mortgage payoff | ≈ $1,700,000 |
| 6% commission + closing costs | ≈ $160k – $170k |
| Seller’s actual net cash at $2.2M | Only $330k – $340k |
|
RESULT: Seller will laugh and reject it in 5 minutes. $2.2M is 44% below market and 36% below their mortgage + costs. |
|
“$50k cash in + $300k cash-out” version is mathematically impossible.
Appraisal will come in $3.7M–$4.0M → lender won’t fund a $2.2M price + cash-out.
REALISTIC SCENARIO THAT ACTUALLY CLOSES (and still crushes it)
