Appraisal Advice - sq ft concern

[Ray Hayward]

Hello,

My wife and I are buying a single family home. The listing of the home listed the property to be 2009 sq ft. However, the appraiser listed the property as 1100 sq ft. I understand I need to research the public record to determine is accurate. I think the area in question is a heated 4 season room.

If the property is only 1100 sq ft, the price per sq ft is inflated incredibly for what we are offering. If this is the case, what is the right action? We love the house, but would have resell concerns as this is a starter home for us.

First, I would get in there with a tape measure and confirm the measurements.  Second, what is your Realtor advising in this situation?
