I would agree with you SK in your analysis above. That dog treated us well though man… lemme tell ya. The previous owner was a total deadbeat, running a flower shop out of the home and his brother was the listing agent. Besides the tramps next door all the other neighbors were very happy with us buying the home but it took quite awhile to get the deadbeat out and plenty of dollars for lawyers.

lepetit I will be pretty darn surprised if Deer Park gets 950k. Do not see it at all. Classic case of sellers in denial. Anyways comps in the subdivision seem to be sprinkled. One at 890k and one at 899k, one at 885k and one at 850k. and one at 830k. The one at 830k would most likely illustrate sdrs post. That was about being able to find a deal by being patient but acting fast when you need to, the buyer did have to overbid. That was a great deal ppsf wise at 315k.
Anyways you can have your agent write a lowball offer and shoot it in. Nothing ventured nothing gained right? The probability is high that the sellers will punt especially because the remarks indicate a contingency on the sellers finding a new home.
