Had a similar experience. I was waiting to refinance to get rid of PMI, when a neighbor's house sold for much more than I thought it was worth. So I got our house appraised and it turned out I could refinance immediately.

For those of you with higher than expected appraisals, are you in DC, MD or VA?

20% of the 275K, you might actually be able to pay less than 20% on the 275K because you have equity.

There's no relationship between the lender and the appraiser anymore, so this information wouldn't be useful to you.
