my only thought is, do you absolutely have to sell?
Well, I’m sort of in the middle. That house was my primary residence for 4 years. And due to a job transfer, I’ve already moved. So the house is empty now. But my new house won’t be ready till Spring so I only have one mortgage, which I can easily afford. I can actually “afford” both mortgages, so I’m not desperate. But I don’t NEED the house so I do want to sell it. I certainly didn’t turn that low ball offer away out of hand. I countered a full 5% lower which I thought was a decent comeback for a 20% below asking offer. They rejected my counter 5 minutes after I faxed it back. They could have come back 50cents more. My problem is, my house is priced 300,000 less than the highest price on my street. Out of the 5 of us, I am lowest priced, and the largest. No one is looking at any of us. I really am willing to make a deal. But with who? Thanks all, for your thoughts on this. Oh, and I am not FSBO”ing. I only tried that for 2 weeks, I’ve had an agent for 6 months. I just bought a 6 month listing on that website. And I figured, any exposure was good!
