Well, no new house yet. The bid we made yesterday was not accepted. We offered a fair price, asked for a percentage of closing costs and a 'termite bond' (customary in GA). They countered with 'asking price', no closing and no termite bond. Hmm..
This house is about $30,000.00 overpriced, needs a new roof, 4 windows replaced, landscaping and some updating. Apparently the owners are upside-down by about $17,000.00. No wonder it's been for sale for over a year. Our agent said: 'if that's all they can do the house will sit empty for all of '09 too.' Too bad.
But, we have another bid we are going to send out tomorrow so we'll see.
We are going to shoot LOW on the first offer and see what happens.
(Lori & Rita: This house has a really good paint job... hint, hint...)
