I think that was the worst I've seen here!
So, we have an offer on our house. We lowered the price a lot (3 times) and the offer is less than the price, but we accepted... we replied with we accept, but no contingencies and that inspection is purely for their information. They accepted the terms. We have fast tracked the process, with inspection on Wednesday, hope to have the P and S on Friday. Of course there are absolutely no structural or safety issues with the house, but we know the inspector will say the water heater and furnace should be replaced. They are working well, recently inspected, but are nearing their natural end. We will not pay for that.
The buyers story kind of resonated with us, perhaps on purpose, but it is not a lie. They are renting in West Concord, young family, with 3 elementary aged kids. The amount they offered is the limit of what they can afford, and they are pre-approved. Our neighborhood sends kids to the elementary school in West Concord, as it is the closest in miles, but on the other side of the highway that divides my town. They do not want to change schools. So, they are limited in money and geographic area. They kind of reminded us of ourselves when we moved here... of course we lived in a cheaper rent town for 6 years, but the story resonated with us. Right now what's selling in our town is one 1.5 million or above, or less than 450K, which means it's either a condo or an older ranch, which will be torn down for a new home. Our home is in neither of these categories. So, we are taking the $ and running. We have never seen a home as an investment, and we only made a big profit on the last home we sold. Just want the process to be done with.
