you’re asking 25k on a 1.5 mil property. the owner/seller is balking. one or both of you are being really dumb.
if you’re asking for exactly the estimated value of “repair”, you’re asking for relative peanuts. why are they balking when they “need to sell”?
otoh, if you had asked for 1% of the sale price for repair costs, then you have something to fight over. but… less than a quarter percent? if it were a 250k condo with 25k in repairs, ok, but… a 1.5 mil sale?
come on. the upper end market is not being held up by nickle/dime buyers/sellers.
