The high of last week's Omaha home purchase is but a distant memory... we had another failed offer on our house last week (on Thursday). We decided that we have become a bit more "motivated" to sell since the last offer and we played the negotiations totally differently this time - making our "big moves" first. Long story short, these buyers are using zillow.com to gauge how much they are willing to offer -- I don't know about you all, but I haven't found zillow to be the most accurate website around - We also found out the buy-out amount this weekend -- can you say low, low, low, low, . . . hmmm.... it's like we're playing Deal or No Deal here. We know the banker's offer - do we wait for another case to be presented, or do we take the sure offer that we have now (which is not far above the buy-out). Where's Howie Mandel when you need him?
I guess these last buyers are not gone forever, but they came through for a third time today to see what they wanted to counter offer and the word we got was that they were going to have to think "long and hard" about whether or not they thought our house was worth any more than their last offer... their original logic was, "you paid X for it 3 years ago and now you're listing it for X?" They had no idea that we had put on an addition... they reconsidered their offer then, but they wanted a list of all of the improvements that we had made to the house. Frank sent it over to them - that's why they wanted to come over today - so they could compare the list that Frank sent to the actual house - weird!
So, I guess we wait for them and everyone else who has been looking at this place! I'm ready to be done with all of this...
More when I have something positive to say. :)
