Evaluate my real estate negotiation in real time!
So we got an offer on our house today. We're asking $349,000, the offer came in at $333,500, BUT they need us to pay $8,500 in closing costs, which effectively makes the offer $325,000.
I would like to get at least $335,000 net, which means countering with at least $343,000.
Other considerations:
- They are asking for our stove, fridge, washer and dryer, and expressed an interest in our patio furniture.
- Our porch needs between $1,000 and $2,000 in repairs.
I decided to counter with $345,000 + closing costs of $8500 + all the appliances they're asking for and the patio furniture. An effective offer of $336,500.
Seem like a reasonable counter?
