ST House selling thoughts needed. If you were selling your house, what the lowest % discount you would consider from a buyer?.... - Walt_Disney Mar 26, 08:19 10
- House flippers probably offer lots of low ball prices figuring they can upgrade and 'stage' it better and make 10-20% - zeitgeist Mar 26, 11:26
- [deleted]
- This behavior is apparently different in Canada than the US. Here, 80% of the ask is a reasonable first offer. - David Mar 26, 08:52 1
  - Houses selling for more than ask varies by region and type of property. My place wouldn't sell for more than ask. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 26, 08:55
- how quickly do you need the money? - znufrii Mar 26, 08:49 1
  - Not prepared to wait five months for closing but willing to negotiate a bit. -- nm - Walt_Disney Mar 26, 09:02
- I'd counter at 3% less. 10% is a pretty fierce lowball imo. -- nm - Shaun Mar 26, 08:27 1
  - If they came in at 3% less, I would likely have gone with that. -- nm - Walt_Disney Mar 26, 09:03
- I mean, you have to consider what the property is worth. and your initial pricing strategy. honestly ask your relator. - amanda Mar 26, 08:23
- so an extra 2%-5%? take the deal. -- nm - decline Mar 26, 08:22

    - yup -- (link) - Ultron Mar 26, 08:20 1
      - Good for them. So great job Pence, you've pissed off Salesforce, Lilly, and all of your (good) Universities. Idiot. -- nm - MDH Mar 26, 08:23
  - More importantly, the Final Four just became about something much different. -- nm - David Mar 26, 08:09
- Congratulations, Indiana! You've made me feel like Tennessee is a politically reasonable environment! -- nm - David Mar 26, 07:54 1
  - I wouldn't go that far. ;-) -- nm - Krusty Mar 26, 07:58
- can you cliff notes this up for me? What does it mean? -- nm - groiny Mar 26, 07:54 2
  - Right thinking Christains can now refuse service to the ungodly abominations known as homosexuals. -- nm - TWuG Mar 26, 07:55 1
    - oof, ok -- nm - groiny Mar 26, 07:58
- I'd say people are weird but then watch Texas try to sign crap too. -- nm - Epiphany Mar 26, 07:53
- ahhh so he just became the GOP front runner for 2016? -- nm - Jovian Mar 26, 07:52
- Shame on him and everyone that supports this awful bill there and anywhere else it pops up. -- nm - Krusty Mar 26, 07:51 5
  - Eli Lilly's team gave a great speech about how they need to lure great candidates to IN, and this makes it that much tougher. Didn't stop Pence :-( -- nm - MDH Mar 26, 08:08 4
    - This is so embarrassing. Is the next step signs that say, "Straights only"? Because that's what these laws feel like, Jim Crow for the gay - Krusty Mar 26, 08:15 3
      - It's a supreme court case waiting to happen, and they'll lose, and be pissed about liberal judges. -- nm - MDH Mar 26, 08:16 2
        
        You have WAY more faith in SCOTUS than I do. They've shown little interest in making sexual orientation a protected - TWuG Mar 26, 08:19 1
        
        Sadly, I agree with you. We need to flip a few judges for that to happen. -- nm - Krusty Mar 26, 08:29
- I'd love to see the Big 10 move the basketball tournament from there next year. It might be too late, but it would make a nice statement. -- nm - pmb Mar 26, 07:51 13
  - One problem is, the laws are already in many of the places it might get moved to. Like Chicago. -- nm - Ultron Mar 26, 07:53 12
    - I'm actually not aware of that law in Chicago (or Illinois) though I can't swear it doesn't exist. But there could be other venues. Don't forget - pmb Mar 26, 07:55 10
      - I saw a blurb that there are already over 100 such laws in the country including Chicago, but I have yet to see a full list. -- nm - Ultron Mar 26, 07:57 9
        
        Nothing would ever shock me, but it would be surprising since Chicago is such a distinctly "blue" city. -- nm - pmb Mar 26, 08:00 8
        
        Exactly. -- nm - Ultron Mar 26, 08:03 7

        So you decided to pile on to the wrong side. Good choice. - Krusty Mar 26, 08:42 5
        
        Rememebr, I am not in agreement. Just trying to present some of the info that is out there. - Ultron Mar 26, 08:45 4
        
        Oh, I totally didn't direct that you but the Gov. Sorry if it appeared that way. -- nm - Krusty Mar 26, 08:50 3
        
        Through so, just being sure. Did not want anyone reading now or later to possibly misread is all. - Ultron Mar 26, 08:54 2
        
        Yeah, sorry about that. -- nm - Krusty Mar 26, 09:12
        
        Through so? *Thought* so. -- nm - Ultron Mar 26, 09:11

    - That seems to be the opinion. -- nm - volnelk Mar 26, 08:03
- Yeah, Rivers gonna be a Titan. -- nm - Ultron Mar 26, 07:46 2
  - Weird story. His kids are all homeschooled, so he doesn't want to move to LA if the Chargers move, so he'd rather be traded to a random city? -- nm - volnelk Mar 26, 08:04 1
    - He is a southern boy, so he hopes for that direction. -- nm - Ultron Mar 26, 08:05
