It seems the planets might actually be aligning for us. We found a house we loved...it was out of our price range. We gave them a lowball offer. They verbally countered with a bunch of ridiculous conditions and an amount a tad higher than we wanted to go. Once my agent talked to theirs and their agent pounded some sense into them, the removed pretty much all their conditions when they submitted their written counter...but stayed at the same price, which when I say is a tad over our price, I mean literally...$2000 over. We can live with $2000 over, since it's still technically in our approval range. And we still get our inspection and the ability to come back pending its results.
We are going over on Saturday to walk through again, and do a closer look...before making a final decision to accept. OMG? Did we just get the house of our dreams?
Good luck - hope it works out for you!
