A good deal? NOT!

[Account Closed]

A few weeks ago I made a 155,000 offer on a house listed for 177,500.
It had a couple of problems, but would work for me, as either residence or rental. At that price, as a rental it would just pay for itself.
Anyway, they said no, they owed that much and needed to get full price. A few days ago the agent called mine and asked if I would consider a counter offer, that they were working out what they could accept, and get back to me.

So I had time to think, and decided one of the things in the my acceptance/counter was that they would have clean up the residues, fumes, chemicals, and odors of the fragrance and toxic chemicals in the house, and come down to 170 or a bit less, maybe pay closing costs, all or half.

The agent called back. they would put in a dishwasher of their choice--they had removed the exixting one, raise the price to 183,500, and pay 3% of the closing.

Needless to say, I said, "No thanks."
