Appraised value is "the appraiser's opinion of the most probable selling price as of a certain date" (usually the day it is inspected). So in today's insane market, appraisers usually are aware of how many offers the seller had over the weekend (these days, 2-10 in the 1st 24 hrs), therefore it's very rare that a house would appraise that much under. If there is such a case, there are Review Appraiser in the bank or in the management company that would make sure a mistake wasn't made, and would review all available comparable properties and question why properties weren't chosen that would justify the $330,000 price...most likely order another appraisal from a different appraiser and split the difference if it's still under sale price.
