My Milton appraisal came in below the contract price. What now?

An appraisal gap in Milton means the lender will only finance up to the appraised value, leaving the buyer and seller to cover the difference between that number and the contract price. Options include the buyer paying the gap in cash, both sides renegotiating the price, or the buyer challenging the appraisal with additional comparable sales. Georgia contracts typically address this through an appraisal contingency, so reviewing that clause first tells you which path applies.
