I gave my offer friday at 11:30, the offer sheet gave them until 1pm saturday..........They had countered by 12:30, I countered with a "take it or have a nice life" and at 1:30, owned the house....papers signed by 4, pending closing.
The Wife emailed earlier, and a co-worker of hers had put an offer for $4k more and had been rejected 3 weeks earlier.
Its all timing...they were nearing the end of the contract with the realtor, packing 2 mortgages in a month.......they had the realtor call me to see if we were going to make an offer, I waited 3 days and Blam!
If the owner makes that "uhh" sound when signing....you got a good deal.
I cut to the bone on my offer on their house because they needed to sell it.....I don't HAVE to sell mine, so I won't budge far from my asking price.
