kyburgWe're walking away. There were more than two other offers on the table, and they were all raising the asking price.
It was already $6,000 more - and if I added another $2,000, that was the entire amount of money we could have spent on the move itself - let alone the restoration we're doing on furniture and the piano. There wouldn't be anything left.
And they were firm on that deposit. Bastids. Fine.
I'm going to take the advice and get this move done - get us into temporary housing, even if it's only two weeks at a time - board the pets as needed and get into a better bargaining position.
The only consolation is that the housing values double in five years around here. Hey, I could be in San Francisco. It could be worse.
