As many of you know I have been on the mad search for a condo. Well, I had looked at quite a few and finally found one that I loved and wanted to make an offer on it. I had seen these condos go up for sale last year and I also saw them sell out just as fast. Not that it mattered, as I was not ready mentally or financially to buy one at that time. So anyway, buying a condo by yourself can be very nerve racking....mostly because I have no clue! So I met with my realtor and he spent almost 2 hours explaining the process to me, telling me to not freak out and helping me pick a reasonable starting offer for the condo.
Well..my offer was flat out denied. Yup, the dude that lives there will settle for no less than list price. I know for a fact that he had this condo on the market last August for about $20,000 more and he could not sell it. Now he has it on the market for about $2,000 more than he bought it for. I personally think this dude is on crack considering most real estate is going for $50,000-$100,00 less than it is valued at.
Anyway, I am not giving up...and even though that condo was gorgeous and brand new...I know that I will find something else that fits! I am actually hitting up an open house Sunday...I will fill you in!
