NBR: Today is the day we hear...

in Success after IF

We've been waiting for our buyers to decide to move forward or back out after the inspection process.  Last we heard they were having serious doubts.  They need to understand that when you are buying a 60 year old house there is the potential to replace a roof or heating system during your tenure here.  Everything is fully functional at this point, it is just the potential for problems in the future that they are concerned about.  You're not going to get a brand new house in this price range.  Plus, the kitchen and bathroom are brand new, we added a new front porch and waterproofed the basement.  We are already losing all of the money we put into the renovations plus selling for less than we bought it for, we can't afford to do anything else. 

Anyway, wish us luck.  If they move forward, we are closing in 2 weeks!  If not, we have to start the process all over again and I am kind of sick of having the house constantly in showing condition.

    I wish you all the luck in the world.  I don't ever understand why people don't realize things like you are talking about

    Good luck!  I hate unrealistic buyers.  Hopefully they have a reasonable agent that will clue them into these type of things.

    Good luck!!! I love watching Property Virgins on HDTV, and seeing how unrealistic the new buyers can be. They usually change their tune by the end of the show though. Anyhow, I hope you sell. I can't imagine having to keep my house spotless, and having people coming in and out to look at it.

    Wishing you lots of luck.  We are in such a similar boat -- our house is 59 years old, and we've put TONS of work into it, but we will be seriously lucky if we can get what we paid for it in the spring.  I hope it turns out well for you!

    Lisa, Have you thought of offering a home warranty - I think the owners of this house paid about $450 for a home warranty for a year and it covers certain items if they were to go home. It might be something to consider. I know it doesn't solve all problems, but it gave us piece of mind that if something happened in the first year, we wouldn't have to pay for alot.

    That is a great suggestion and we actually just did that this week.  I'm hoping that will help. 

    Still waiting to hear...

    They should be signing the papers now!!!  Our realtor called to get an update and their realtor said that they were on their way over, he had the papers drawn up and from his understanding they were just coming to sign the papers.  They arent asking for us to do any repairs, no surprises.  Yay!  Now we're just waiting for the appraisal which should be in early this week.
