Remember a few posts back when I said that we should be getting feedback and offers today or tomorrow? Well, we got two offers today, which sounds like it should be great. The problem is that both offers were really bad offers. Really bad.
Barney had a big soccer match that he wanted to watch today, and he talked to a bar close to our house who said they would have the game on (it was not on a channel that we get). So, he wanted to go there for lunch and to watch the game, and he wanted me to keep him company. I really didn't want to go, but he was so excited, so I said yes.
While I was getting ready, our realtor called and said that the offer to buy the house had come in but that it was very low. She told us the offer and then asked us to meet her at her office two hours later to discuss it. We were very disheartened, but we agreed. We got to the bar, but within five minutes, we got a call for a showing one hour later. So, we had to immediately leave to go back to the house and get it ready for the showing.
We went back and watched the game for an hour and then went to the realtor's office, where we made a counteroffer we were pretty sure would not fly. They re-countered another very low offer, and we did not re-counter from there. They are thinking it over tonight, but it's less than a 5% chance that deal will go through.
In the meantime, the people who came to see it today loved the house and want to rent it. Unfortunately, they only want to rent it if we will come down $500 per month, which is also ridiculous. They offered free golf lessons in return. No thanks.
The other people who had been very interested in leasing just never replied back when they said they would, so we are all assuming that that one is long dead as well.
Where does that leave us? Back at square one.
