Delusional

1 week on the market and we have an offer, people! Granted, it’s not a very good one, but it’s a start.
Approximately $7,000.00 less than asking price;
Closing date set for March;
They want everything in the house (duh!--except for the shop-vac--that’s mine);
Home Warranty (And let’s face it, who doesn’t want that these days);
Home Inspection (which they will pay for--hey, if someone is not going to allow you to get an inspection, RUN!); and
It is contingent upon the buyers obtaining financing, because they don’t have pre-approval yet. (Kathy, I am emailing you about this since we just had this discussion.)
They want us to take that much less, wait until the end of February to see if they get financing, and carry the house until mid-March after the house has only been on the market for one week? Gee, let me think about that--Uhhh.. No. But, that's why they have counter-offers.
It's exciting anyway.


In other news, Mary is due back to work tomorrow after a week in Jamaica. Which means no more IPod, but it also means no more weird R&B/Techno/Rap mix coming from the computer next to me! Who knew I would be so happy to NOT have music at work?
