Arg. Negotiating a price to purchase a house is driving me bonkers. |
|
We go up a little, they come down a little, we go up a little, they go down a little, and we both refuse to meet at the same price.
They want too much dammit.
But it's a lovely house.
Stress.

1. Have you checked zillow? and the tax assessment page |
|
for it's assessment information? I have a multiplier for most US towns that will tell you what the market value is versus the assessed value if you want me to look it up for you.

4. I know the taxes on it are 2899/yr in westbrook maine. |
|
No idea what the town's assessed value is or the towns mill rate.
Zillow is neat, but it's not on zillow.

3. I got a better deal on mine by researching how much was owed on my house. |
|
And how much they paid for it when they bought it. Just an idea.

5. Wont work with these people. They're musician restauranteers. |
|
They never even once lowered the listing price for the house during the eight months it's languished on the market. We've dragged them down 20 grand in price, but I want four more dammit.

6. Have your realtor ask whether the listing agent will knock something off his commission |
|
and whether your agent is agreeable to taking less, too. I should think that both realtors would be anxious to make the deal. You're not that far apart.
