Mortgage Question (if market goes down)

What happens if a house (new construction) is listed for a certain price, but the market goes down and the bank will not appraise it for that value?

What are the odds that would happen?
Would the builder be forced to lower the house price?

TIA!

Only if he wants to sell it....

If the market was going up, he'd raise the price....

i think that would mean that the buyer would need to have a down payment to cover the difference between what the house appraised for and what the purchase price was.

Well, he can't raise it, we have a contract for the price. I just wonder with the crazy market now, if by the time the house is finished being built, "WHAT IF" it's not valued as high as it was months prior?

We can pull out (just lose our earnest money), but we don't want to have to do that. I am just trying to think of the worst cases.
