Well, we waited almost 9 months to get an offer on our home. We started this process by pricing our home low enough to appeal to buyers in this crazy market. $217,995. Then, we lowered the price. $207,995. Then, we lowered the price again. $199,995. Then, we waited. And we waited. And we waited. You get the picture. We are currently sitting here with the house priced at $55,000 less than it was worth 2 years ago. OK, I can swallow that. That's just the reality of the situation.
But, this week, we get a call from our realtor that someone is planning "write an offer". Cool. Well, we never did get it in writing, because it was so ludicrous that our realtor told them she wouldn't waste her time writing it up if it wasn't closer to our asking price. They offered $150,000. That's just $60,000 under asking price! Well, hopefully they will find someone who is desperate to sell. As for us, we verbally countered at $194,995. I'm sure they are nibbling at their fingernails right now deciding how to play out this bidding war! (sarcasm) Actaully, we don't expect to hear back from them.
Meanwhile, for the NYC team, we have 6 families/people who have successfully rented out their homes. We have zero who have sold. Wait, let me check that stat. . . . yep. . . that would be zero. We keep thinking that the Kelly's will be the first. . . . we'll see. . . .
