Sorry you're dealing with unrealistic offers as well. We had one last Monday that was $35K off of listing *and* they wanted to take possession immediately living there rent-free until they could close on 10/15. I told our Realtor to tell their Realtor to find her clients a home they could afford and thank you for ruining my birthday.
On the upside, we got a good offer on Thursday morning. We countered, our counter was accepted and we signed the paperwork on Friday. Monday starts the 10 day contingency period for the buyers to get their inspection and appraisal. If that all goes as expected, then we'll be closing on or before 8/31.
253 / 140 (below goal)
If I were lying, wouldn't my pants be on fire?!?
Something I just thought about....this might be the reason that the lady supposedly has been looking for 2 years...she have been making rediculous low offers on other homes. This housing mess is really a BIG HUGE MESS....form our original listing price a year ago, this offer was $100K below, so it is not like we have had this price all along.
7/13 was a year our house has been on the market. We've lowered the price 2x, but only from $206K to $204K to $199K. However, in December 2005, this house appraised for $252K. With the accepted offer, we're still taking nearly $7K cash to closing, but we figured this was the best offer we'd had in over a year and they want to close quickly so assuming all goes through as it's expected to, we'll finally be done.

If I could be added to the list.... I'm having an exploratory laparascopy on Monday due to unexplained abdominal pain. I have a much more detailed post above in the thread for more info... I'm actually not hurting right now, so that's good, but I'm very frustrated with this mysterious pain, and frustrated that it seems to also be gone for the moment too!
Delight thyself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart. Psalms 37:4
Keeping y'all in prayer!
