Rn DH is getting his stuff together to make the 140 mile east and down south for his job away from me. Absolutely hate him being away from home, but he's gotta do it. Will be glad when this job gets finished the winter of 2007. Angus's little skin condition continues on, he has almost no hair on his tail and losing it on his face and top of his head. He sort of looks like a little possum! Poor baby, but we love him anyway.

Right now I'm back and wondering how the I'm supposed to catch up on everything after being gone so long. Maybe I'll just give up and pretend that the board started today and go from here. LOL

Rn, I'm glad the Weather Channel is not in my town right now. You never want to see them when a storm is approaching! (sorry Tampa)
Honestly, we have had very dry weather lately, so this will hopefully only bring us rain and nothing else.

rn Welcome back too Jmm!

Tabbyking, I've got to tell ya I'm so happy that you are home in ONE home, safe and sound!! I've been entranced with your story, unbelieveable that you or your DH have an ounce of energy left!! What a saga! Congrats on your new abode and I hope you will have a lovely summer fishing and smelling the pine trees. There's NO PLACE LIKE HOME!

One thought, in case you're interested. I believe you said you have stuff to go thru and donate - - If by chance you run onto sweatshirts & sweatpants that you wish to unload, a great place (where you would get the most bang for your charitable buck) is a Battered Women's Shelter. The sweats are uni-sex and one size fits a large variety of people. So many times women and their kids come in with only the shirts on their backs. When my friend died, I donated bags of his sweats and that's what the women's shelter told me, they were really grateful to get them. Not just turning them around to sell cheaply in a thriftstore.

rn I'm finishing dinner and off to clean the kitchen. yuck.

Right now I am cringing because I just watched that fungus ad where "digger" crawls under the toe nail. Ack! I have to leave for work soon.

RN: Wish DH and I luck. We looked at 5 houses this weekend and found one we really love. Unfortunately the market is dropping drastically and we are going to offer 23,000 less than asking price and ask them to cover closing costs. Their house has been on the market for almost 3 months with no offers, so we are hoping we can reach a compromise. It's a great little house with a big yard, hardwood floors, new carpet in the bedrooms, a roomy kitchen, fireplace, breakfast nook, formal dining, indoor laundry (with new washer & dryer), and it's very bright! ( can you tell I already love it? )

RN good luck Escapee! Didn't your dh do time in the military? If he did and you haven't already, ya'll should look at VA loans. We went that route and did no closing costs.

RN: Thanks war. The thing about VA, is that it is always there. Our loan processor said that with first time homebuyers, it's not the best route because of a higher interest rate, but it's great for a re-fi.

RN: I just spoke with the realtor, we are going back over to see it tonight. Those of you who have recently sold homes, what are our odds with offers and counter offers?

What is their asking price? 23,000 less makes a huge diff if the asking price is 500,000 or 189,000...

General rule of thumb is 5% less than the asking price, I s'pose it differs from area to area. Everything is so relative. Like how anxious are these people to sell. Maybe they can afford to wait for their asking price or maybe they have to sell it ASAP...

RN: They are asking 278. We are going to offer 255 and ask them to cover closing. If they offer to cover closing costs somewhere between to the two we'll accept.

RN: It's also sitting vacant and there are no offers in on it. It has been on the market for 80 days.

Rn way back when we were buying a house our realtor said that if we wanted the seller to cover closings costs then we'd have to offer their asking price.

I guess you can start there. If I am doing my math right, about 14,000 less is about where you'd end up at. But I suck at math. What is 95% of 278?

Sitting vacant obviously means they are already living somewhere, so they may not be so desperate.

You don't have anything to sell first, right? That is a huge advantage on your side... That means you can make a lower offer than if you had a contingency.
