FHA Loan Appraisal

Is it difficult to get houses appraised for asking price today using FHA loans/appraisers?
Specifically in the Seattle area (North Shore area. We are looking at buying. Everything is set but now we have to wait on the FHA appraisal. We are using Wells Fargo, if that makes a difference. Sellers only dropped their price a couple thousand, which seemed fair to us given how updated the house is and how well they've taken care of it. Home is older, built in 1993, but they have remodeled everything. It's definitely one of the nicest maintained homes in the area. I'm just worried now after hearing some stories of homes not appraising for asking price. Our agent seems to think it won't be an issue. Does anyone have an thoughts or experiences?

I just did this in Philadelphia and had no problems. FHA loan, asking price.

Response by poster: The house actually appraised higher than our final agreed upon price, but lower than the listing price. Very exciting!
