    If you can provide a real estate agent with the $70,000 appraisal, he/she would probably list the property for that amount. An agent doesn't want to list a property for MORE than it's worth... but typically won't have a problem at all if he/she knows the value is there. Good Luck!

    If it appraises for $70,000 - who cares what it was listed for?!? I'm sure the banks I use never look at the MLS to see what it was listed for. They certainly look at the appraisal...

    Good Luck!

    I sell real estate in Western PA and I don't know of any bank that checks the MLS unless the house is currently listed. They don't search expireds, so I can't imagine that this would be a problem for you. Frankly, I don't understand why if this house is such a great deal someone didn't buy it while it was listed at $46,000, but then again I see that situation locally time and again. Good luck
