I hope you are well. Back when I first joined I remember you as part of the community.
When I was a newbie the market hadn’t crashed yet and George W was President. We were all part of the crowd who saw what was coming. I remember realtors hopping in on the threads saying we had no idea what we were talking about. Ahh, the good ole’ days.
I was definitely part of the high strung political crowd and my demeanor and others is something I learned from. Don’t post like you know everything.
Thank you for weighing in. Hoping to see SDRealtor as well.
Yeah, it feels fishy. They could have listed it at $350k. Dropping it to $299k with the intention of a bidding war doesn’t sit well with me. There would have been plenty of bidders at $350k.
It does make me feel a bit better that the house in your view is priced well based on the area and other things.
I do like the house though and it isn’t at our cap price.
Not sure what you will think of this, but I countered at $385k with the seller paying the closing cost. There is one other buyer they are accepting offers from. Of course I can’t read their minds, but I imagine it being something similar- who knows.
If this house falls through I may change realtors. I friend of mine married a realtor and I thought he was pompous and too much of a stereotypical alpha male. When I was thinking of other realtors he came to mind.
The market is tough and our realtor is sweet, but I don’t necessarily want a sweet realtor. I want someone who can be nice when the situation calls for it, but I want a barracuda otherwise.
Thank you for your input. I am going to read it a few times.
