UPDATE AGAIN 3/13: Our bid was ACCEPTED!!! Negotiating with seller, Please cross your fingers for us!!!

Soooo, we found two houses that we love, 1 in Wantagh and the other in Merrick....I am completely head over heels for the one in Merrick and we have been negotiating with the seller over the last few days....We are going to place a bid on the wantagh house as well, just in case we don't get Merrick. Cross your fingers for us...I REALLY hope we get the Merrick house. It's perfect, move in condition, Completely redone, beautiful everything and we don't need to touch a thing.

Say a prayer for me girlies...We might be homeowners soon enough..Chat Icon

UPDATE 3-7-07: The seller would only come down $9,000 and our high bid was a couple thousand lower than that. Although it's a turn key and immaculate home, it is a cape and small-ish. So we told them that was our final offer and if they change their minds to give us a call.

We're bidding on the other house in Wantagh today, it's twice the size and almost as nice with a park/playground in the development and it's $50,000 less.

Here we go again, let's home that this time it sticks!

UPDATE 3-8-07 Well we haven't heard back from the seller yet regarding our bid yesterday...BUT believe it or not, we found out via MLS home search that he just RAISED his asking price $10,000,. Can you believe the nerve of this guy. I mean he had it listed for 4 months at the current price and couldnt sell it because of the outdated half (i say half because it is pretty much one set of cabinets and one section of countertop w/ a stove and dishwasher and the fridge isin't even in the kitchen. It's in the hallway across from the bathroom in this cut out in the wall!) Chat Icon . So he re did the floor and what there is of a kitchen and now he wants more money

PS Ugh, I am officially disgusted and after 7 months of looking and about 100 or so homes i've seen, I am throwing in the towel now. I told FH if he wants to look, be my guest but he'll have to do it alone...I've had it! Chat Icon

3/12/07: Ok, so FH just couldn't keep the secret any longer, he was trying to hold out for my B-day (April 8) but he just couldn't for various reasons...The seller accapted the offer on the house I love in MerrickChat Icon , he was trying to wait until my bday to surprise me!!! He is SOOOO amazing, The engineer came yesterday and everything looks good. We should have a contract by Friday and once they are signed I will post pics...I am SO excited! I LOVE that
house!

UPDATE 3-7-07: The seller would only come down to $510,000 and in my personal opinion the house is not worth more than $500,000 (we topped out at $505,000), although turn key and immaculate, it is a cape and small-ish. So we told them that was our final offer and if they change their minds to give us a call.

Soooo- we are bidding on the other house in Wantagh today, it's twice the size and almost as nice with a park/playground in the development and it's $50,000 less.

Here we go again, let's home that this time it sticks!



Good luck with the 2nd house! As is always repeated across this board - the right house will work out for you! Just be patient!
