We are still in "negotiations" with our potential buyer. She responded to our counter offer with a counter offer of her own. We expected that. She has come up quite a bit from her initial offer, but it's still lower than what we want to sell for. So...we'll be giving her a counter offer. We haven't quite decided on the price of our counter yet. There's a fine line that we have to walk right now. We don't want to give our place away, especially since it's only been back on the market for about 10 days. That really isn't very long. BUT we also don't want to lose a potential contract. So we have to be really careful with our next counter offer.
However, we have had a tremendous amount of showings in the last few days. We had 5 showings just today! That's a lot. Our agent is having a second open house tomorrow. The open house last weekend was not an advertised open house because it had just gone back on the market. So, I'm anticipating a lot of people coming. She had quite a few last weekend.
On a side note, this is WS' last weekend in CA. He's moving on Thursday! It's definitely going to be tough to be without him for several weeks. We've decided that even if we're not in escrow and set to close by early July, E and I are still going to go out to CO at that time. We're going to have two payments anyway. We might as well be together as a family. If we're still on the market at that time (which I seriously doubt, but you never know), then our place will just be shown empty. When WS and I were in CO last weekend we saw a lot of empty places. They showed just as well as furnished homes. In fact, some of the empty places showed better. Some people have a lot of clutter that really makes it hard to imagine living in the place.
Hopefully we'll be able to work out a great offer soon!
