So ST, I should just get this done right? The negotiation for this house has dragged on for a week now. We started pretty far apart on price and - pmb Jun 24, 13:19 14
- i'm not sure what your situation is but if it's a perfect fit for you and your family and you really really want it, why not just go for it? - kare Jun 24, 13:35 1
  - It's partly me being stubborn, but like most things it's not absolutely perfect. But it's by far the best we've seen in our price range. -- nm - pmb Jun 24, 13:38

    - Dude - if it doesn't price out for some reason and you walk, they'll come back. They need to sell and it's still a buyer's market. - Diva Jun 24, 13:31 3
      - What's funny is the guy got all concerned about the appraisal contingency because he's clearly worried it won't appraise. And I'm thinking "dude, - pmb Jun 24, 13:36 2
        
        The comps being lower than expected are quite telling. If you guys don't take it they may have to end up relisting the property at a lower price. - Diva Jun 24, 13:39 1
