Camp property search

We got the word this morning that the other folks who seen the property had no interest.

That's good. You don't have any competition. So maybe let them know your original offer stands, and meanwhile you are continuing your search. If they come back and say yes, or counter with something that is agreeable, you can resubmit a formal offer.

I'd sit tight. So far they've got indications they're still too high. If they don't get more interest in the next couple of weeks, they may come back to you.

We are thinking of a modest increase in the bid.

I'd have your realtor tell their realtor that you have been actively looking at other properties, but that he might be able talk you into making another bid. That way you don't seem too eager.

He already has.

You mentioned earlier that you are 50k apart. What percentage is that of the total asking price? Is it 10%? 20%? If I'm being too nosey, just don't answer.

In my experience the seller makes a counter offer to your first offer. It appears that didn’t happen?

Yes and no. We offer 200k just after they had dropped the price 25k to 250.

 

[hayden]

Yes and no. We offer 200k just after they had dropped the price 25k to 250.

And I think you said they countered with their new asking price of $250k? That's 25% more than you offered so not insignificant.

How much will the dam project cost? Have them escrow that cost to reimburse you for time and materials, then increase your offer by 1/4 - 1/2 that amount.
