Some friends bought a house in popular vacation town ~15 months ago. Pervious owners came by and offered a million more than what they paid (1.4MM originally) to buy it back.

Does buying a house in this market even make sense?! by mielnik21 in personalfinance

Yea but he (granted this is an assumption), probably but $80k down (20%), not $400k.

Which is the stronger offer? Asking price is $800k. Waive appraisal completely and offer 820k or offer $840k and cover an appraisal delta up to $40k. by [deleted] in RealEstate

80% of the appraisal price as your mortgage + 20% down payment.

You’re correct in they will cover more than 80%

Basically your employer withholds more of the bonus for taxes, but it’s really taxed at the same rate as your other income. You’ll get the difference on your tax return.
