Home offer - Should I take it?
Hello,
First off, thank you for any advice on this. I have a home contingent right now. I listed it at $215 k, and had an offer of $218k plus 3000 in closing. The inspection revealed some electrical and waterproofing of a crawl space. I had 3 quotes, averaging around $9500 for both. The buyer had one estimate for waterproofing and it was $16300. He will not even look at my quotes, yet he asked me to do my due diligence. He dropped his offer to $201k, as is condition.
What do you guys think? I really want to sell the house, but not sure it will appraise at $215k even. I was thinking of relisting and disclosing that I am having the waterproofing and electric scheduled to be done. But even if I get a $210k offer, I am right back to where I was with this guy but will have holding costs.
Feel free to ask any other questions. Thank you again!
