Home Buying - Round 6 - Update

Posted December 19th, 2009 by jared

On Monday this week, we put an aggressive offer on the house that Sara wrote about earlier.

On Wednesday, the seller's agent responded saying they had multiple offers on the house and that everyone needs to submit their very best offer by noon the following day. We believed our offer was more than sufficient, so we remained firm. Plus, the email they sent looked like a canned response -- they probably respond this way to every offer they get.

On Friday, we heard back from the Seller's agent; they asked if we'd be willing to double our earnest money. Sound familiar? We agreed to their new terms, but there is still no signed contract. We should find out more early next week....
