It was clearly painful to sell at that price, but Lauren is happy now to be free – and in the rental market.
Here’s Lauren’s update:
My house is finally under agreement and yes I did replace the carpet and painted the walls in the stairwell to make it “lighter”.
The downside is we received several offers ranging from $255K-$280K, we took the 280 offer after rejecting another 280 offer and those buyers walked away, our counter offer in that situation was $285 but the buyers wouldn’t pay that. So the next offer we got for $280 we accepted… and yes we still had to bring money to the table after Realtor fees ate away all surplus, seems unfair but we had to do that to get out of the house.
Now the next challenge for me will be the fact that I am not going to be a renter…with a dog, this should be fun finding a reasonably priced apartment.
