An Offer, An Offer!!

We just got our first offer on our house.

They offered $42,000 less than our already embarrassingly low asking price. Hahahahahahaha.

Hahahahaha.

Hahahahaha.

I'm laughing so that I don't start bawling...

Hahahaha.

So far, it's working.

And to think. In our house-hunting, Hubby and I are always embarrassed when we want to offer $10,000 less than the asking price. I guess that I will try to be a bit less embarrassed from now on.

Who wants to track these people down and throw rotten eggs at their house. Anyone?

Hahahahahaha.

Yuck. I can't begin to imagine how stressful this is for you. Some people have nerve that's for sure, I guess they're just chancing their arm. Real estate markets must be slow all over - it's just as bad here.

Oh man! That sucks. I'm afraid the same thing is going to happen to us though . . . sigh. We'll all pray to the real estate gods for rich buyers with blinders on!

Well at least it's something?

YAY! Yes, it's low, but atleast it is an offer. Have you started the negotiations upward yet? Maybe they'll come up more than you think.
Congrats on the offer, whether you accept it or not...it's still a good thing :)

I bet I could get away with egging a house or two. I'm a fast runner.

I'm not going to leave a patting-you-on-the-back-saying-it's-alright comment. 'Cause that's so not alright! In your place, the manic laughter would quickly turn to tears for me.

So sorry!

Ugh. Rotten stinkin' buyers.

Yep, that's a crappy offer alright.

I would have been embarassed to ask for a lower price, too! I HATE haggling. BUT! I bought my house right BEFORE the buyer's market came back. So...what the hell do I know?

Do you have Craigslist out there? I had a signed offer for our house in three days. NO JOKE.
