Offers and showings

We had someone look at our house yesterday, a neighbor actually, and our Realtor called to say she made an offer - but it was laughably low. It was as if, he said, she pulled a number out of the air. We're asking $324,900 and he said she offered in the 280's. That's a 50K lowball! I guess if you're going to offer, offer low ... but our counter would be 324,800. The Realtor said that unless she came up with a real offer, he was not even going to draw up paperwork to present to us. We concurred.

Meanwhile, we got calls from two other agents looking to show the house - one tomorrow morning and one tomorrow night. Good signs all, and good ammunition against a 50K lowball offer. We did not peg our asking price high so we could come down. We pegged it where we thought it should be based on comparible properties that have sold recently (well, actually, Adam pegged it there, but we understood how he did it and why).

Adam is coming over tonight to show us our plans - he may even have a second floor plan ready, that was more up in the air. Let's break ground!
