I don't like the sound of them either. I think they are playing mind games. I'm really with you on taking it and running bc we won't be in a bind really and we will be happier. But I am starting to see hubby's point of view too, and when I think about these buyers acting like they are, it makes me wonder if they will back out down the road no matter what.

These people are old and experienced so be careful. You guys are secretly itching to sell and make sure you never let on you're anxious to sell - play it cool. Tell them you're insulted with the 9,000 dollar hit and won't take more than the 4,000 dollar deduction. They're being greedy IMO. If it falls through, could you rent it out, so you could move? Usually a counter offer should be less not more.

Lynn I really hear you. I am sick about a 9000 loss too. I am insulted by the offer and am really pissed about it. I think we probably did give off the hint of desperation to leave. Thanks for the suggestion, but we can't rent it out bc we are moving from deep south Texas to Alabama with full time jobs and won't be able to keep check, on it, make repairs, ensure it isn't being destroyed, etc... We don't know a soul down here that could keep a check on it for us. Plus I would expect people will not pay rent and leave without a trace frequently... So if it falls through we just have to wait on another buyer - who knows how long. Thats the real catch to not just taking this offer.
