Our sale of our Miami home is about to be completed but we just found out that the Gardenia elevation that we picked won't fit on the lot we picked!! --have to start over looking for a new lot.

Thoughts and prayers coming your way.

It sounds promising their coming back. I hope you can sell and move to TV before the winter hits.

Best wishes.

The upside is at least someone thinks your home desirable enough to make make an offer!!!!! :)

The downside is buyers are hoping that people are desparate to accept anything. :(

Hopefully, someone will come along with a desirable offer. :)

Best wishes, You only need one good offer. :)

Negotiating is so in order, especially if they like your house.

My thoughts exactly ... did you make a counter offer?

CarGuys 10-03-2011 06:53 AM

offer
 
In todays market on offer is exciting!

Many of us went years without one. Def keep the lines of communication open.

As I have posted before in a buyers market they will try an immediate 30% reduction.

Depends how bad you want to move vs moving to TV and being happy.

Consider having to stay and pay taxes mtg upkeep etc.

Glad you got a immediate offer.

Keep hoping...I am in the same boat...there are many of us...we are all sending good vibes your way!!!!!

I have had my house on the market for two years now and have yet to see that one person who is serious about buying my home in New Jersey. The only upside is that I did not wait to sell and am presently living in Bonnybrook. When the house sells, it sells.

We had house on market for only a few months and got one offer that was $40,000 below asking price. It was one of our neighbor's son and his offer was based on what he could afford. I would have loved for him to have the house, but not at that price. We took it off market and then got another offer for full asking price, all cash. We were very reluctant to believe that. Who makes a full price offer in this market? It wound up being a bogus offer--they kept saying they were bringing in the earnest money. After third no show I signed a termination of agreement and turned the house over to a property manager who got us a stellar renter at an excellent price. Property tax in NM is very low so we are doing fine with the rent. And we feel like you...when it sells it sells. We do want to sell it by the end of year 3 so we won't have to pay capital gains. And since we will have made a nice sum in rent money, we can lower the price of the house and come out pretty well. We hope!

I am glad you also decided to come here regardless of house sale.
