Counter Offer Time

Well, we finally received their counter offer, they only came down a tiny bit from their list price. We're counter offering after we hear a number from our agent this morning, because even though the house is wonderful, is just not worth the list price for many reasons, a big one being the houses around it are selling for no where near that, and much closer to our original offer.

We also found another house that just went on the market today for the exact same listing price, same updates, more contemporary and in the same area but a notably "better" neighborhood. (To put this in perspective, the county we are looking in right now is the second richest county in the entire United States, so no area is really bad or good, it's just in comparison to the other neighborhoods in the county.) Basically, we going to counter offer again, and let them know that we love the house, but we're only going to pay so much for it. We are not going to be underwater and buy if for more than it's worth when there are comparable houses in better neighborhoods listed at the same price. Here's some pics of the house we are touring tonight or tomorrow night, DH likes it better because more contemporary and has a garage, but I love the older style and the really spacious rooms of the first one. We both think there is more potential for a multiple offer bidding war on the second and really would rather not get into that, but I guess we'll see!!
