Bruce and Kimberly McBryar appeal from the trial court’s order confirming Branch Banking & Trust Company’s “BB&T” foreclosure sale of two pieces of real property owned by them. The McBryars argue that the confirmation order was improperly entered because: 1 the order failed to recite the process used by BB&T’s appraiser to calculate the properties’ true market value; and 2 the court erroneously relied on the testimony of BB&T’s appraiser, who used improper methods to determine the true market value of the properties. For the reasons set forth below, we affirm. In confirming a nonjudicial foreclosure sale, the trial court “shall require evidence to show the true market value of the property sold . . . and shall not confirm the sale unless it is satisfied that the property so sold brought its true market value.”1 OCGA § 44-14-161 b. The trial court “sits as a trier of fact, and its findings and conclusions have the effect of a jury verdict. It hears the evidence and its findings based upon conflicting evidence should not be disturbed by a reviewing court if there is any evidence to support them.” Punctuation omitted. Blue Marlin Dev., LLC v. Branch Banking & Trust Co. , 302 Ga. App. 120, 122 1 690 SE2d 252 2010. “On appellate review, the test is not whether this Court would accept the expert appraisals relied upon by the trial court as the most reliable and accurate, but whether the record contains any evidence to support the findings of the trial court that the property brought its true market value at the foreclosure sale.” Tarleton v. Griffin Fed. Sav. Bank , 202 Ga. App. 454, 454 1 415 SE2d 4 1992.
The record shows that BB&T held mortgages on two pieces of real property owned by the McBryars and on which the McBryars had begun construction of “spec homes,” i.e., houses which they intended to offer for sale on the open market. After the McBryars defaulted on their loans, BB&T initiated foreclosure proceedings, during which it purchased both pieces of property. According to BB&T’s expert appraiser, the purchase price for each of the properties was equal to its true market value.
