[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We probably looked at like 40 or 50. But they weren't all in the neighborhood we said we wanted. Ultimately we made a lowball offer on my dream house. They were offended and refused it. Didn't counter. But their realtor had told mine they HAD to move so we just waited. They lowered the price twice, and then we lowballed them again. They were so upset they basically HAD to take our lower offer that they had the washer, dryer and fridge taken out and thrown away, and they ripped out all the blooming flowers. [/quote]

Oh wow... How much did you lowballco,pared to original price? And the second time: did you lowball lower than first offer? `Ì am impressed you stuck with lowballing strategy given that it was your dream house. Was it because DH didnt really like it? Or you simply could not afford more?[/quote]

Same questions, especially on how much lower you were than what they wanted.  This is the most interesting contribution to this thread. Ripping out the blooming flowers is such an odd and specific choice. This whole thing is fascinating. [/quote]

OP here - if this PP is going to do an AMA, I would prefer that she start her own thread about it and not derail mine. This is NOT the kind of market where you can lowball and get your offer accepted. The only houses we've seen sitting on the market have something really wrong with them (undesirable location, need a lot of work, etc.). The offers we've made have been at list or above (one with no contingencies) and we were still outbid by a lot on both.[/quote]
