If you can get it appraised for an amount, you might be able to get a good percentage of the appraisal value.

I just refinanced my house for the appraised value, which was much more than what I purchased it for 3 years ago. I got the loan for 80% of the new value, which paid off the old loan and put a bunch of cash in my hand.

Now, this was a refinance, I don't know how tough it would be to do that with a new purchase, you need to talk to your broker.
