Maybe If I Stop Caring..Update

..We'll get the house.

The guy didn't even want to consider our counter offer. So my H put in an offer that is the highest we will go, and it will be our final one on this house. I feel like this guy wants the asking price and nothing else. As my mom says, "he's a D bag!", since it seems like he won't even compromise and play ball even a tiny bit.

Anyway....Stay tuned!

And thanks for the happy vibes!

He didn't want to move on the last price he gave us, so we're officially passing on the house. I'm sad. :-(

That is good that you and your H are standing firm on your offer. If you don't get it, then maybe it just wasn't meant to be and you will find something else quickly.

I couldn't imagine going through all those offers esp with Christmas around the corner.

Yeah it sucks actually. We both really like this house, and we do not want to start the search all over again. Ah well. There are about a million houses for sale in Fargo, which is good for us.

What sucks is he doesn't realize he'll never get his asking price especially in an economy like this.  Good luck.. I hope he pulls his head out and realizes that you're offering him a good deal.  If not, well then there's an even better house that's meant to be yours!!

Exactly! The house is overpriced in the first place, and I guess he is just in no need of selling it that badly. Which is a crazy thought. I guess I'd rather get out from under a house, but that's just me.

Im sorry your having such a hard time with the house search and the offers. I will say buying a house is 40x more stressful than planning a wedding.. I will keep my fingers crossed that you find another house that you like better. Also that you will get a better deal on a better house. It takes lots of patience. You will find the right house.

Poor Schu. Hopefully after the holidays you guys can resume looking and find a great house at a great price.

Me and J went through the same thing with a house we found and fell in love with! 

It just means there is something better out there for ya

Well that sucks.  I'm sorry.  I had a similar situation when I was house shopping.  She wouldn't budge, and the house SO wasn't worth what she wanted.  I now have  a great starter house and love it  That WILL happen for the two of you.

FWIW, this was 5 years ago and the initial house I wanted is still on the market (hehehe).
