Well...back to the drawing board

The house didn't work out :( The seller was a bit of a nightmare and unreasonable with her demands. Even armed with comps in the same neighborhood with the SAME FLOORPLAN she was not understanding why we were asking her to come down in price when those all sold for ten grand or more less than hers. She doesn't seem to understand the house isn't going to appraise for her asking price. She came down only $2000 from the asking price but said in order to do that she was asking that we agree to cut our closing time in half and she was cancelling the home warranty that she was originally advertising as part of the deal. Ugh. We had one bought out from under us and now this. Maybe third time's the charm!

Re: Well...back to the drawing board

  • I'm so sorry this happened to you...our seller was pretty unreasonable at first too, but when we threatened to walk, she came down in price. I'm sure you will find your dream home soon!

  • Ugh, sorry it didn't work out! You did the right thing by walking away rather than getting emotionally roped into it. Maybe she'll change her tune when she's still on the market weeks from now and realizes that yours was the best offer she got. Either way, good luck!

  • Sorry it didn't work out - I agree though, maybe she'll realize how unreasonable she's being if the house is still on the market after awhile.   Hope everything comes together for you soon!

  • That sucks.  As others said, though, good that you didn't get caught up with it and end up with paying something you're not comfortable with.  Good luck with finding your perfect place.

    This exactly!  Like you said, third time should be a charm.  Good luck.

  • Sorry and good luck with the next step. I had a friend who recently bought a house that she initially walked away from. You never know what will happen. Either way, I hope that you find an amazing house on your terms soon.
  • ugh, what a nightmare.... better luck with the next one!

  • You made the right choice to walk away from a difficult seller.  Months from now, when that house still hasn't sold, she'll see the light.  The perfect house is out there, I'm sure of it.

  • I'm so sorry it didn't work out for you. House hunting can be so frustrating. Good luck finding another place, I'm sure you'll find something you like even better.

  • If I remember right, you had said it was already on the market for a while, which means she's totally stubborn. Hopefully #3 is the charm for you.
