How this analysis works
Banks calculate loan proceeds using the
lower of purchase price or appraised value
. If the appraisal comes in below your offer, the lender reduces financing and the buyer must cover the difference. SignalGate applies this lender rule to determine whether your deal structure survives if appraisal aligns with comparable sales. This tool does
not predict appraisal outcomes
. It evaluates structural survivability based on your inputs.
Simulation uses standard residential lending mechanics (LTV-based underwriting).
