Hi, Was there a Finance Contingency in place with the offer? If they had that protection in place then you cannot keep the deposit. Did they share that appraisal with you? You now have a document showing the value of your home at 530K, and if they walk you will have to answer questions as to why the deal fell apart. Try to keep these buyers if you can!
