I have much less knowlage than a lot of people on this forum in real estate bargining. But lets talk horse trading. If you are at a split the difference point, you are about eye to eye. On equall footing. The buyer wants what you have, and you want a fair, price for it. So it is a good deal for both if you get less than you wanted, and the buyer pays more than he wanted.
You will both feel better for it. As far is if it was a better deal for one or the other horse traders? Only a crystal ball will tell.
Seems at Piggington’s the crystal ball is bearish. And the puppy chow mass media is bullish. Time will tell.
