    Default received 2 offers on my home today

    house has been listed since 1/1/13 and it's been shown about 20 times in the last 11 days. Feedback has been great, and it's priced to sell at about 3% below the comps

    So my question is.... and I'll use rough round numbers

    If you know that you are the second offer, and you want the house, why would you offer $50,000 below asking price?....and then be surprised when I don't counter?
    They knew what we paid, and saw the receipts for over $30K worth of work in the last 2 years, and still offered $20K less that what the bottom of the market cost was.


    The first offer was a little lower than we were willing to take, but after a counter offer we're pretty close, and it looks like it'll sell

    I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE GO TO THE "BUY REAL ESTATE WITH NOTHING DOWN" SCHOOL. ABOUT ALL THEY TELL YOU IS GO MAKE LOW BALL OFFERS ON EVERY HOUSE UNTIL SOMEONE SAYS YES.

    My guess is an investor, out to make money and seeing where your bottom is.
    "They say I'm disturbed. Well, of course I'm disturbed. I mean, we're all disturbed. And if we're not, why not?"

    That's exactly what it is. I just went through the same thing selling my house. When I got offers like that I just flat said No and didn't even counter. Don't insult me like that.

    Not gonna lie... That's a goofy lookin' design. Kinda cool though, the way the garages are set up.
