It's the price you must pay for happiness, the price to move on, the price to just get beyond it all. EVERYTHING in life has a price. I've lost money on relationships, dreams of working together with friends that went so south it isn't funny. But I look at it like, well, that's what I had to pay to get that person out of my life. And looking back at it, now that I'm three years beyond it, it was worth every penny.

Each day you delay selling, you are losing money.

Think about it: John, foreclosure, commuting in the fall.....

Get out while you can!!

Good Luck

It sounds like this is becoming one for the record books. The best thing would be to sell the place and cut your loses.

Some people have a lot of nerve!

I know I’m beginning to sound like a broken record but I lowered the price of my house again the other day. Hours after the price change took effect and was broadcast to all the local real estate agents via what they’ve coined the “hot sheet,” guess who calls my agent? The agent for the family of three.

In case you forgot, this is the family that I’d been negotiating with for weeks. Finally, after a lot of back and forth, I agreed to their price only to be told that they were no longer interested.

Now, it seems, they’ve returned to the negotiating table and obviously smell blood in the water. They’ve now offered me a price that is $10,000 lower than the “final” offer they presented to me (and I ultimately agreed to) just weeks ago. Their reason: The housing market continues to decline and that’s what they believe the house is now worth. It also doesn’t help that the comps paint a grim picture as prices of surrounding homes continue to drop.

There’s no doubt that these people are jerking me around. They can sense I’m desperate to sell and they are playing the game.
