I Got my first offer, I like it, should I take it?
I"m in the process of selling my house in Oakland, California. It is not on the market yet, but I got my first offer already this past friday. The buyer is offering me $21,000 over the listing price, listing price is going to be $519,000, buyer offered $540,000. They are also willing to make an EMD of $15,000. Inspection contingency is waived, buying AS-IS. Appraisal contingency timeline is 10 days and also the loan contingency timeline is 10 days. I as the seller is requested to pay the county transfer tax and 50% of the city transfer tax. Buyer is to pay escrow fee, owners title insurance, 50% of city transfer tax and home warranty and also requesting to keep all appliances with the purchase of the house. Personally I like the offer, i dont want to lose this offer, I might counter offer with $545,000. What do you guys think? Should I take the offer or should i put my house on the market and see what other offers i get....all advice and suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance!!!
