| Topic | Boy is buying a house way more expensive than it looks |
| Tired-Insomniac 10/17/19 4:11:20 PM #43: | darkphoenix181 posted... That is a good price. Nebraska, near Omaha. And yeah it was on the market for nearly three months. They originally asked for 280,000 though which was way more than it's worth (appraised at 260k), but bumped it down to 259 and it stayed on the market for about three weeks before we saw it. We looked at 24 houses counting this one. Would have looked at nearly 50, but so many of them would end up under contract the same day they were listed so we couldn't even look at them, and several we liked ended up being sold for thousands above asking price. We were worried there were problems with this house to keep it on the market for so long but... -great neighborhood -great location -pre-inspected, and they fixed almost everything that came up on inspection, including a brand new roof that was paid for out of pocket because it was bad due to age, not damage I was prepared to offer 265 and ask for half of closing, our realtor said the sellers were closing on a house in Utah in a few weeks so might be desperate, so he said let's offer 257, ask them to pay all closing, and fix the remaining items in the inspection report and see what they counter with And they accepted that offer. We were completely blown away. --- "I like turtles" ... Copied to Clipboard! |
