As you know we received an offer on our house. We asked 149k, and we have countered a few times. Buyer wants to give us $143k, but with the caveat that we contribute 2500 to closing costs.
I think we should go for it. I think it's a decent offer, not a lowball. BUT... my hubby is opposed to the idea of paying the closing costs. No one has ever done it for us, is his rational. And, now that we had an offer on the first showing, he thinks maybe the house is underpriced. He wants to get 145k out of it, no closing costs.
There are a lot of houses for sale in our neighborhood. And some have been on the market more than a year. I told him that if we turn this guy down over $2,000 we will spend more than that in time and money maintaining the house until the day If another good offer arrives.
Frankly, I was expecteing offers in the 130s, so to get one for this, I am totally fine with. He seems defeated because of all the money we are losing on the house, but we knew that when we decided to move.
