Listed house 60 days ago at $345K, reduced price by $10K 10 days ago, which gave us a new wave of interest (7 showings and interest person at the open house).

Received an offer for asking price, sellers to pay buyers' realtor fees and $10K sellers contributions towards buyers closing costs. They are first time home buyers.

Would you take it? Counter in some way? I'm nervous to accept this and them want more consideration after inspection. This is our first time selling a house.

How many similar houses are for sale within a 1 mile radius?

In my neighborhood, there’s no inventory. Well priced homes are moving in days. There’s a few overpriced flips that have sat, but nothing sits for 30+ days.

If your neighborhood has a ton of supply that is aging, take the offer and run.

You’ve received one offer in 60 days and you’re thinking of not taking it? The longest I would wait (I’ve sold 4 houses, including one during the Great Recession) is to the following weekend.

If no more offers came in I’d do whatever I could to close the deal.

How desperate are you to sell? How long can you wait? Do you have another house mortgage that will start soon? I would lean towards selling.

Sell it if you are getting the price you want.

Sell it!! I know people who have been on the market for 6+ months because they’re being stupidly stubborn and holding out for more $$. If you need to get that mortgage off your back, then sell it now. The market is not going to get better, at least not in the short term.

Fellow underwriters what do you do for VOI on OTR Truck Drivers who have not filed a tax return and can only provide a recent 1099 or earnings statement.

I was thinking institute the practice of taking RMA’s EBIDA% based on the 1099/earning statement? Any other thoughts?

I'm under contract for a new build in progress that won't be done until much later this year. I fully expect interest rates will be higher than what I originally estimated. I may or may not try to lock in a good rate early, but I'm planning on renting it out and this throws a bit if a wrench in my margins. I can take it financially, but wondering, If I absolutely needed to get out of buying it, what recourse do I have? Or could I go ahead, and refinance later (who knows rates at that time...)?

5. Have another business generating revenue to offset this.
