Sorry, but I couldn't keep up with the other thread, so I'm out of the loop! Don't you worry about the prices being so much higher next year? Yes, very much so... heck one place that we looked at 3-4 weeks ago...asking price was $179,000 now it is $209,000... I sure am,,,but not ready to do it yet...so I would love your opinion on the whole deal..I know this is the wrong board...but the other thread is too long to read all through to find an appropriate place to post this question!

Why did you decide not to take it the first time? Well, we originaly were going to go in $3000 under asking and have them pay the closing cost (approx $6000)... But when we signed we went in at asking price instead of $3000 under in hopes of them taking it and not countering....we just wanted it!! So, then when they countered and said they were only going to pay 1/2 the closing...we walked... that was $6000 more then Shane & I had agreeded (to each other) that we would pay.

So, if it is still on the market later this month or maybe the 1st of the month then we will put in another offer (lower then our last) and ask for 100% closing to be covered. They can take it or leave it.... it is a great "starter" for us....we could live there even 5 years and make some money and get into something else later..... we will see.
