counter offers, round 2

[cereal K]

so, we put an offer in on a new house yesterday.

they countered, we countered back.

just got their re-counter. we're countering back again. my agent isn't sending it in until later today so we don't look too eager.

i'm trying to see the bright side here. they countered back, so we're still in it, right?! ugh. i just want this to be over and for us to get this house!

Of course you're still in!

We went back and forth with the seller of our house four or five times before coming to an agreement. It was intense.

Good luck. Curious though, what is he difference btwn your 4th counter and the selling price? I'd be afraid to piss them off here.

at this point, we're about $6k below the list price on the house, but we're asking them to add/build some things as they complete the house. it's new construction/a spec home, and the builder is still 30 days from completion. the stuff we're asking for isn't outlandish, but it adds up. we're asking them to build a deck (so that the sliding door from the eat-in kitchen isn't a drop to the death), install an irrigation system (before they put sod down), and put garage door openers in the garage.

my agent is optimistic that we can all win on this one, but i can honestly say i don't know how much more we'll go after this.
