      Yes they can sell for whatever you agree to pay. Now you will have to deal with appraisal gap if that is issue. Seller is simply trying to get same net proceeds from home. You created higher asking price because you can’t or won’t bring your own closing cash to table. I don’t blame seller one bit.

      They can sell it to you for whatever works on your situation. If you are financing it, it’ll have to appraise for at least the amount you’re paying.

      Nothing illegal or sketchy about it. You are exchanging higher prices and less equity (or negative equity) for less up front cash. It can make appraising difficult.
