In an ideal situation I would like to make money on the house and buy a nicer house at a lower value. That's not the option at this point. Do I decline the offer and potentially miss out on obtaining the new house, or do I bite the bullet and take the loss now and hope I make it up more so in the future.
You are absolutely correct. I don't see it. I don't see anything worthy as being deemed "special" in my response.Steel Valley Football;1072145 wrote:... You don't see it. The rest of us do.

Another factor to consider is how long you plan to stay in your current house. If you're planning eventually to sell and trade up at some point, you're going to have the realtor fees and closing costs anyway, so perhaps it's better to take the hit now and move into your terminal home. On the other hand, if you're otherwise happy with where you are and don't plan to make the move, it may not be worth it.
Likewise, retarded people probably don't know they are different either.Con_Alma;1072151 wrote:You are absolutely correct. I don't see it. I don't see anything worthy as being deemed "special" in my response.

If the other house is more and is what you want try and get the price down by 12,000 then it becomes a wash some what. Plus the more house now will increase in value, more later.
Remember location location location and last curb appeal
From what I read … I would do it …

Areed. I have no interest in appealing at the curb to another with my residence but Belly's comment wasn't a suggestion for me it was a suggestion for Zwick and his situation.

Different , however, doesn't necessarily mean special. I concede that my view on how to obtain and fund a primary residence is different than most. It's fare from "special".

Exactly. He wins without resorting to the immature, irrational, illogical tactics that I use to achieve the same goal.

And you can take that to the bank.
Not necessarily. You're assuming the offer is $12k below market or that he can indeed do better. Other than countering, I'd guess the longer it sits on the market the more aggressive potentials buyers will be lowballing the asking price.FatHobbit;1072076 wrote:This is what it comes down to IMO.

Let's keep it simple. If you are hesitant to accept the offer knowing you love this new house....don't do it.
Wait it out some....you got a decent offer that quick...you'll get what you want.
I contend that you do and can likely prove it.Con_Alma;1072183 wrote:Areed. I have no interest in appealing at the curb to another with my residence but Belly's comment wasn't a suggestion for me it was a suggestion for Zwick and his situation. Mine has nothing to do with it.
