Farm for Sale...Still

So finally, we have received an answer. Our counter offer to the very low offer we received the other day was turned down by the gentleman we have been working with for over 8 weeks.

And because our counter offer was way below our asking price to begin with we are NOT going any lower. We have already compromised so much.

So here we are...the proud owners of TWO farms.

EEJITS.

But, we're OK. We have some great plans. And soon we will share them with you. Today though we have some wound licking to do.

  2. Bummer! But I'm glad you didn't compromise on the price. I did that with a condo like fifteen YEARS ago and I STILL kick myself in the pants for doing it.

  3. Oh crap. Sorry to hear this. If nothing else the past 8 weeks have allowed you the opportunity to rethink, regroup, and reorganize South Pork - at least on paper. Bottom line - maybe no sale now, but you're in better shape (Quicken-wise) than 8 weeks ago. Have a good mope - then go out and hug a pig. Looking forward to your next plans. :-D

  4. Not to worry, things will turn around when you two least expect it. Keep your chins up and march on!

  5. My mother always used to tell me that 'everything always works out for the best'. I never believed her, but she was usually right.

    Oh dear, and I was so looking forward to your getting on with the work at the new place!

  6. Donna, as folks also trying to sell (home not a farm) we can understand your position not to compromise and go even lower, even though it may seem a tough stand to some folks. We hear that in time, things will turn and so we continue to hang in and go on as you have apparently decided as well...good for you!

  7. Double your pleasure! That just sorta bites. We have been hung out on a few of our plans before. I always want immediate answers when I'm real-estateing and I have yet to get my way. For not getting my way the terms have been real agreeable after the dust has settled. If not for being hung out on house decisions we would have never ended up where we are. I'm pretty damned happy I didn't get my way.

  8. I'm sorry to hear that but I can hear the optimism too - totally understandable that you need time to lick wounds, recover and regroup xxx
