Would those government appraisers have slowed down the madness in California, Florida, Nevada or Arizona? Nope, not a chance. The bubble was supported by the federales with Fannie and Freddie subsidizing the loans of anyone with a pulse and not keeping the old income and downpayment requirements. All the government will do is skim off some money for the appraisal and gum up the system.
You can't sell the house until your Fedpraisal is done.
