So our family is living in a crappy rental house, since we have two other houses on the market right now that we need to sell before we can afford to buy something nice. However, after living in a smaller house for a while, we've realized that we're not completely at each other's throats and maybe something smaller and less expensive might work. So we find a nice little house that just came on the market, it would work fine for us and has charm and character, so we put in an offer, a damn good offer, 98% of their asking price with no strings attached, and they can even live there a month after we close.
And these morons say no, and that they just put it on the market and they want their full asking price!
What the hell is wrong with some people?! Did they happen not to watch TV or read a newspaper anytime in the last two years and realize that the housing market sucks and they'd better take what they can get?
Okay, my venting is over. If they won't take our offer as is then we're moving on and we'll keep our eyes open for something else. We're in no rush or immediate need to find something. And beyond that, on principle I won't negotiate with these people if they are so pompous that they think their house is going to be the exception to an otherwise poor housing market.
