This entire melodrama gives me a stomach ache!
Ok so we made an offer on a nearly 3000 sq ft gambrel-style home on nearly an acre, last night. Oh it's got a sweet fenced in yard too. It's in wonderful shape, new carpeting, huge rooms, a deck, and a fenced in patio off of the master suite and a kitchen I can deal with once I swap out all of the current applicances for stainless steel ones and install granite counter tops. See, I'm not hard to please!
Fast forward to ten minutes ago...Gareth phones, says we've received a counter offer. They want asking price, which we offered, less two points on the closing costs, whereas we want them to pay three points.
So now our broker goes back to their broker and we've made a counter to their counter which basically gives them what they want and we still get what we want after playing with numbers, and hopefully everyone is happy. Well except for the fact that the sellers are in Texas and we all know what bad luck I've had with anything and everything related to the state of Texas.
Where did I put my antacid?
