They counter offered and so did I. My broker told me their bottom line is
$3000 more than my offer. I told him to stick to my offer until tomorrow. Part of the deal includes most of the furniture, which I don't want. My daughter talked me into keeping it, and getting rid of whatever I don't want. She has a huge house, so I'll probably end up giving most of it to her. I called my broker back to tell them that they can take whatever they want, and not worry about the rest. I'll take care of it. I figured that might push them over a bit to take my offer. Here are some pictures of the view from the entrance to the community.

Wow Judy!
I am so excited for you! I am sure you will get this condo... and have many many happy years enjoying your home. I remember how I felt when buying my home. The first elation in knowing I had found my home, the high emotions when dealing with seller, the contentment I found when I walked into my home for the first time when it was truly mine.. The total satisfaction in knowing that it was mine and I had a clean slate to paint. Get ready! The rollar coaster ride is just beginning!! |

I got it!!! I'm so happy - I bought a house! I just can't believe it. She came down to my price last night, and now I have to start packing, find a mover, etc., etc. The closing is scheduled for July 25th.
I am one happy person today!

Yesterday, I got on the phone and found a real estate lawyer, someone to do the survey, and a moving company. I think my daughter's neighbor, a contractor, will do the floors and paint job.
I started packing. They say to do one room at a time, and so on. I think whatever I decide I'm really not taking, I'll just leave here. I can give my super $50 and he can throw it out. I'm so glad I already went through everything and got rid of so much stuff that I don't want! I have to figure out when to have the floors done. They can paint after my furniture is in. I told the previous owner that I would keep her stuff, and take care of it for her. That's how these places are sold. Thankfully, she's taking some stuff. Maybe my daughter will want some furniture. I really don't, but that may have pushed the previous owner to settle for my price. I know it's a waste of rime trying to plan for everything to go perfectly and smoothly. It usually just goes the way it goes anyway. I found out which cable companies service the area, where to get my hair done, where I can get groceries in a pinch. I have to travel to the supermarket. There are several cleaning services in the area, but no nail salons. I already know the vet. I have to see if there's a pet supply store nearby. If not - ????
