We purchased a 2 story home, in OK, that was listed as having 2890 sq ft. The home was built in 1973 and needed some major updating. We thought we were getting the home for $51 a sq ft. After living in the home for one month we finally got a copy of our appraisal and to our SHOCK the home only has 2187 sq feet! Did I mention the realtor was the seller's mother? This was a GROSS misrepresentation. Anyone know OK law that can give us some advice? The county assessor's records were WRONG. We found out the home had only sold one other time and it was listed at APPROX 2400 sq ft then. It turns out the same appraiser did the appraisal for the previous buyers and he said, "The house didn't grow." What do we do now? We just lost about $40,000 and this is a nationwide realtor. Our previous home (our first) was only 1200 sq ft so this one seemed WAY big to us.
