Steaming!

Steaming!



The Hubster has now announced that two of his siblings (5 kids in all) want to drop the price on FIL's house a whopping $7000.00! We just listed it about a month and a half ago!!

These are the same people who took almost a year to get it cleaned out...all the while I'm encouraging them to please hurry as there is a prophesized real estate bubble about to burst.

Slow shuffle, slow shuffle, slow shuffle...and now they want to run to the finish line????

I mean, I mean, I mean, good gravy people where was all the rush when it would have been useful??

Now, they may eventually HAVE TO drop it 7000.00 but all in one fell swoop? Get real people!

I'm steamed!

...and having a hard time keeping my tongue. Wondering about their logic.

So glad that these folks are no blood relation to me!

    blog. i'm very impressed with your health financial situaion! no debt, 12-month of backup fund, and just mortgage with only 7 years left.

    what do you think is the fastest and most efficient way to pay off credit card debt?

    Yeah, I know that feeling. And it might not be enough. Frown What does the 7K drop represent - less than 5%?

    Listed price right now is $65,000.00 - so a bit more than the ol' 5%. The Hubster's not doing it. It's not so much the money aspect for me as the perceptions that people hold that they can sit on a full house of stuff for almost a year PIDDLING multiple weeks over who gets Mom's teapot and then expect you to sell it in less than 2 months when you wait till the coldest part of the year to get started.

    I'm looking at springtime before we probably make a sale.

    That they NOW want instant????? SHEESH!

    They could have had a month's worth of picking what they wanted out of the house and had a weekend auction and been done with that part by late February of last year and already had the house sold by now. Good Gravy PEOPLE!!
