"If you price it low enough, they will come"

Sorry I have slacked on my blog duties. It's been a hectic few weeks in Real Estate Land. 

Sold my project house in one day, pretty sweet. 

You know what's really making my blood boil right now? Multiple offers. 

Unreal. That is the only word that doesn't contain naughty language that I can use to describe the feeling when you have a buyer who writes an offer and all the sudden there are multiple offers. I had a guy write an offer on a home that had been on the market for 7 months, yes, 7 MONTHS. All the sudden, the same day I submitted our offer- another offer comes in? Give me a break! I just about ripped my hair out. But.....it's the nature of the beast. I like to say, "If you price it low enough, they will come" and it must be a tactic banks use because it works. Don't be discouraged. If you love the home, pay for it and give it your best offer. If you don't get it, I can find you a better one :-)

On a lighter note, my little brother is building a new home. It's awesome, and I think it is going to be exactly what he wanted. He switched out the rod iron spindles for more modern wood ones and picked a really rich golden brown stain...what do you think!? Nice huh!?

I'll ramble some more later, I have a home inspection tomorrow (should be interesting) and a rather large life event to dish about sometime soon :-)
