Murphy, Texas! Close to everything but still the country feel. Homes are bargains right now. You should look . What's your price range? Mine is for sale and it is amazing. - Thu Mar 20 2008, 15:36

I told my realtor this morning that we didn't have an offer on the home and it would be premature to list items we would consider selling with the home. She got snippy and did not agree with me.
I am certain that the buyers want to get alot more than my house. Let alone the fact that we have already reduced it so much that we are losing money already. If these people had made a reasonable offer and asked for instance if we could include the whole media room furniture or a bedroom etc. , it would be different. They aren't even being specific to a certain room. They want me to list or tag everything that I may sell with the house and make a low ball offer for it all. After all we are giving our house away because we bought another one that is at stake if we don't sell this one. What a mess. Now they want copies of the HOA bylaws. Am I required to pay for these copies? - Thu Mar 20 2008, 15:09

Our home is in Rolling Ridge. The first CMA I got back in September was $102 sf. We listed in October for $101 and now at about $94. Which is less than what we have put into the home, pool, electric iron gate, alot of hardwood, media room design etc.
Our home has alot to offer, 5 full br 5 full ba -almost a full kitchen upstairs, huge courtyard to fit alot of cars,,etc, etc. The downside to many buyers is it backs into Betsy. - which was never an issue for us. Its very quiet here and only residential. My pool is private, even if you tried to look in my yard while driving by, my yard is pretty secluded. - Tue Mar 4 2008, 19:16

We put our home on the market back in October, but since then the homes in my neighborhood have declined and there are so many foreclosures that we had to lower our price to the minimum. We have our home listed with a realtor, but chose to purchase the new home without. Our contract does not specify a closing date. It states that the builder must have the home completed with in 2 years. We have put over $30 k down on the new one. The thing is that if I lose the new one, I will take my current home off the market and stay here. THe sad thing is that this house Im trying to sell here, sells for over $800k in Plano.
I truly love this home and I will miss it, but it is way too big for 2 people and we need to be closer to our business. - Tue Mar 4 2008, 18:43
