Anyone have any rules of thumb when dealing with Fannie's recommended list price?

I've got a troubled listing. Its been on the market for about 3+ months. We've steadily lowered the price.  I figured I might as well see what Fannie thought.  So I requested list price guidance through the Homepath website.

I was able to talk with the appraiser about the home's issues and it seemed like we understood eachother.

Just got Fannie's list recommended list price and it is only $4k below what I currently have it listed for.

I know I can now contest the value, but was wondering if anyone has any rules of thumbs regarding their recommendations.  5% less, 10%?  There is just no negotiating anymore.

Fannie Mae typically is looking to NET within 90% of their value... Seems like potentially you should just obtain the best offer you can at the moment and open up a value dispute if you feel the property is being valued too high, so you can see what you are really going to be up against.

Yep, that's what I was thinking.  So with 6% in commission and another 1% in various taxes/closing costs, they are only looking at about 3% less than recommended list.

I'd dispute it, but given their criteria, how do you dispute a horrible location on a busy road?  There are no contractor bids, comps don't show it.
