thanks perry, sdcellar.
i was pretty stressed at the prospect of a single offer. the agony of planning the next month while the idea that escrow could derail at the slightest pretext, was unnerving. the buyer had deep pockets and probably needed a tax shelter. can’t say, but he’s in the movie industry and probably spent a lot more in his hollywood apartment.
most of our friends here still describe the market as ‘slowing down’, and are flabbergasted we didn’t list it for a million. because “that’s what i would pay for it”.
all talk, imo. when i ask them quietly about the last downturn, they have no clue we had one.
to co-opt from our own sun tzu feld, you go with the offer you have, not the one you wish you had.
