Bought my house in July 2012, purchase price of $213k, discounts brought it down to $205k, appraised for $218k, put down about 12%.
Mortgage holder is Wells Fargo, got appraisal done through them in September 2014 (costs $400) to remove PMI, house needed to appraise for at least $226k, appraised for $240k. PMI removed about 2 yrs early and saved me about $2k.
Did you make improvements to the property? I was told I could not remove PMI with a new appraisal with no improvements.
