Default House may be over priced

OP, when an appraisal is 80,000 short of the asking price I would seriously question if the house is well over priced. There is an over exuberance on the part of some buyers that sellers are taking advantage as TV moves toward build out. This is an example of the over exuberance.

I would advise my friend to look for a more reasonable priced house. There are plenty of them available.
