Don'...I don't like all the back and forth on costs. Don't ask for closing, don't ask for other perks. The only thing I see asking for is, say the cost to repair something, if there would be no time to repair it before closing. Other than that, consider the cost in the actual offer you make.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry you're going through this crap. I understand people can no longer except $1 million for some fixer-up shanty anymore, but they shouldn't expect people to sign over their first born to sell their house. <BR/><BR/>Freakin' ridiculous*https://www.blogger.com/profile/00828110388934226049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1867964003210858105.post-80695403641495939492007-05-01T07:09:00.000-05:002007-05-01T07:09:00.000-05:00Phil: Yeah, but I don't know that I want to deal w...Phil: Yeah, but I don't know that I want to deal with that kind of drama. Also, we need the money from the sale to put down on the new house.<BR/><BR/>Dcup: No apologies needed. I actually like to hear other people's stories--good and bad. It's helpful in assessing my situation.<BR/><BR/>As for the greed of buyers...We have already bought our next house (but we have a little while before we have to officially close), and we were more than fair in our negotiations. Maybe we should have been more obnoxious?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by!Bacon Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02846450453525362653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1867964003210858105.post-23982552811264238492007-05-01T05:05:00.000-05:002007-05-01T05:05:00.000-05:00Aw Man. This sounds like the scenario our realtor...Aw Man. This sounds like the scenario our realtor laid out for us. Down here in Georgia, we thought we'd be okay because the housing prices hadn't risen so wildly as in other places, but no.<BR/><BR/>Because there is so much new housing being built, the realtor told us that we could only expect hokey, demand-filled offers, if any. Resells are sitting on the market twice as long as they did a year ago.<BR/><BR/>Since we don't have a bunch of equity built up in the house due to a refi to do improvements last year, we'd lose money to sell right now. So we're stuck.<BR/><BR/>I feel your pain. The greed of buyers is out of control from what our realtor told us. It sucks bigtime.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry.
