Thanks SDR – the sellers are basically stating if they have to go any lower they would be in a short sale status. They bought the house June 2010.

The house needs carpet, the garage door is damaged as well as a few other misc (minor) items.

My realtor is telling me I’m getting a great deal ($109/sq ft) based on the comps even with the carpet issues, garage door etc..

The problem is, I was only shown standard sales as comps, this is a standard sale as well.
