the 8k tax credit is pushing ALOT of people through the house, and we've had 2 offers this weekend... the issue is, our realtor originally led us to believe that if we sold for 142,500 and paid sellers closing, we would have to bring 15k to closing.... now I'm finding out with the offer of 146 that we got on friday, we have to bring almost 17k to closing....
when I told the realtor this wont work for us, she told me that the prices will do nothing but drop in my area and if I don't sell now, I will be selling the house for 135 next year... so the question is, is she lying to me so that she can make a quick buck or is she being honest with me and trying to help me make the most I can out of my house....
BTW, when the house was new it was sold for 16xk and it was appraised for 181 when I bought the house and since then have replaced all flooring, fininshed the basement, and added a brick paver patio and all landscaping...
