Well it was suddenly worth more when they thought a white couple lived there. Do you not see the blatant problem here?

That's why I asked my questions. If it is a unique house with no reasonable comps then appraisal can become a crap shoot. If it is similar, but in the interim a neighbor's house went for a half million more then you have a newer comp to set the price. If nothing else sold and it is a common house, then the appraisal difference might be racism or something else entirely.

When I was selling a house, it got into a three way bidding battle and sold for about 10% over the comps and asking price so it will drive up comps in the area.
