Put an offer in on a house tonight. There might be a gas leak or something like that in the house, though. I’m a little concerned. See, the people who live there now have been there five years, and other than replacing the roof, they’ve made no improvements to the home. And yet they think the house is worth $100,000 more than they paid for it. Five. Years. Ago.
Needless to say, we came in a little under their asking price, even though they had already lowered the price by $10,000. Granted the neighborhood is really nice. There’s several pubs and restaurants within walking distance of the house.
However, I was torn. Found a subdivision called White Haven. No, I’m serious. And the house for sale was white. All I’d need is to get a white vehicle, a white picket fence, and start pestering the city council to rename the street White Street, and I’d be good to go. But alas, the house wasn’t quite what we were looking for.
UPDATE: They came back with a counter-offer this morning, so they’re on the hook, just gotta reel ‘em in.
