[Village Kid 2]

Every sale has a story. I listed my townhouse at the end of March at the price it should sell for, not considering the market. By mid July, two people had looked at it. I dropped the price 5%. As an aside, I also buried the St. Joseph statue I ordered and let sit for a month. The NEXT day someone looked at it. I had an offer a week later and we close August 14. The offer was 6% lower than the new asking price but I didn't even counter-offer. With two other townhouses still for sale on my street I didn't want to lose the sale. Then after the inspection, they said it will need a new roof in two or three years (it's 10 years old) and if I would lower the price another three thousand they would take it. So, the final selling price was about 12% less than the original asking price. Geez, sellers have so little bargaining power. Anyway, like Villages07 said, I bought it 10 years ago when things were much less so it's still a profitable situation. Can't complain about that. And most importantly, I can come to TV unencumbered!
