RSSCooCoo for Coco Puffs
This weekend, #1GF! and I made what we thought was a reasonable offer on a house that needed work. This was only the second offer on the house in the four months that it had been sitting on the market.
The seller came down a mere $4,000 and wanted us to come up a mere $90,000. I’m hoping that I said, “good luck with that,” but it might have sounded like “pfffffffft.”
I understand trying to get top dollar, but I think that a lot of the sellers in today’s market have really lost their minds.

I agree with you there. My wife and I are battling through the whole loan process trying to close on a house in 1 week. Found out yesterday that the mortgage company we’re going through just pulled out of Georgia, which is where the house is located. They’ve known for a month that the property was in Georgia, and 7 days before closing they decide to let us know they can’t do it. Good luck!!

We’ve had the opposite…people offering us money over our asking price!

N0ia: That just sucks. Sounds like you need a good real estate lawyer.
Tankboy: That just RULES!

i’ve been looking for something for the last year, but everything in Seattle is so ridiculously priced, and i’m not willing to move 60 miles from the city and give up my social life, especially when renting is sooo much cheaper.
frustrating state of affairs, this economy.
