So we found a buyer for our house this weekend. It just fell into our lap. We got our asking price. Or the price we thought, without enough research or idea about what the market could bear, was a fair price. I am supposed to FedEx him a contract today. However now I think we didn’t price the house correctly. Is this logic or greed? Who knows. So today, I’ve been doing research, calling real estate agents and trying to get a “feel” for how much my house is really worth.

Turns out, I think if we sold it with an agent we could sell it for 120K more then what we are selling for… The market has just gone up that much in SW Florida. Who knew?

And truth of the matter is… we aren’t in some situation where we HAVE to sell… ya know? So I think cooling our jets and reallying being sure about the price is prudent.

So now I have to deal with the emotional churn of having to tell this guy “well… ya know… we decided we didn’t price it correctly so we need you to pony up another 75K or the deal is off”. I am SO sure we are off in price by about 100K… that I don’t really care if he walks away… but it sucks to have to tell him nonetheless. And truthfully, the biggest problem here is not the confrontation of me having to haggle with this guy… but more the fact that even now, I’m not sure if we have priced the house correctly. It’s so freaking subjective. How do you know for sure?

Anyway… that’s why I’m not blogging. I’m in the midst of trying to earn my “paycheck” for next year. Or at least come up with the plan on how to do so!
