Excuse my whine-iness...
Needed somewhere to vent so I hope you ladies don't mind. We put in an offer on THE house today. It was $11K below asking so we expected them to counter. They came back and told us that they wanted to net $4K under asking...well, since we're asking for seller assist, that would mean we'd be paying above asking. We countered at $5K above what we offered the first time, putting our second offer at $6K under asking which in our area is very competitive for an offer. They came back at $4K OVER asking.
My main issue with this is I go to my dad for advice a lot. He built my parents house 19 years ago so I bring him along on second looks, etc. I tried calling him when they first countered to ask his advice. He was in a work meeting and I became impatient so H and I decided to go in with our counter where we were comfortable. When my dad called back he said we are appearing overly anxious and they'll just come back quickly asking for more and more money. I don't want to tell him that he was right. It's frustrating.
This house hunting/offering/negotiations is for the birds!

Re: Excuse my whine-iness...
Just want to clarify that I do appreciate everything my dad does. I'm just very frustrated with this process right now.
DH and I had a hard time when we were house shopping. We had two houses under contract until we found the house we are in now.
