After a week of negotiations the deal is dead. They looked at the house on a Saturday morning and had a second showing on Monday night. Tuesday the put in a low ball offer, we countered, the Wed they countered back, we countered back and discovered a red flag regarding their finances. Things seemed to decline quickly from there. They countered again on Thursday and we offered back our final counter on Friday. It was enough to kill the deal. The deal is dead.
I was confident on Friday if they really wanted this house we would have had a deal. The offer was close enough. Their payments would have been about $26 more a month, the difference would have cost us a fence. We just couldn't go that low without them being a strong contender. It would have been a whole different ball game if the guy wouldn't have been a loan officer and his agent a good friend.
So now back to the drawing board. It's hard to be encouraged and enthusiastic at this point. We are headed into the holiday season. We have had three couples look at the house twice. Two put in offers. Two really were not financially prepared. I wish things would happen as I would like, I wish it were that easy. Silly I know but, but since I'm wishing for things I might as well go for the gold right? We are practical people. We just need a true, financially sound buyer. We still are going to give away the farm. Really we are priced very fair and will work with someone but not give the house up at a short sale price. I am disgusted at agents who want solid owners to so.
So... still waiting. Still having faith and praying to be more positive and hopeful.
