Just got the appraisal back on the home I'm buying. I'm getting it for $4,500 under market. So, I guess I have instant equity... 
You are having ridiculous luck. 
Drove Grandma to it today to show it to her since I had to pick her up at the Kroc Center. Noticed they put window covers over the basement wells. Hurray for not having to but those!
YAY!
