so we put in a bid on the house last night
14 years ago
we decided not to lowball it much on the offer, since someone else was putting in a bid on the same property and the bank which owns it had made a counter-offer they hadn't responded to. we also put a real small time window on the bid, expires on the 15th (two days)
the logic/hope is that the bank will go 'oh look someone willing to pay what we're asking and they want a response quickly SOLD'
home buying is a lot more stressful than the nonsense related to getting married. i guess it's cause i know one will work. but the other...i mean a house can have ghosts and damages and problems that don't rear their head until you're already inside.

STRESSSSSSSS

IT SHOWED ME MY FATHER, DEAD
NO WAY
anyway ghosts are awesome what are you even talking about :D
another part of ghosts being a concern is that alf is kinda phobic of ghosts and probably wouldn't be happy in a ghost house
My bro-friend bought his house just when the market collapsed years ago. He got it for $25k under asking, which I think was $25k less that assessed value.
In the first couple of months, he started to find the stupid jerry-rigged crap the previous owner had put in. Most of it is stuff that a hammer or screwdriver can take care of.
So good luck on your bid!

when i was a teen i lived in a canal lock keeper's house that had a relatively nonthreatening ghost once we lay down the law about us not leaving. it'd re-arrange my fishtank supplies on my sister's floor sometimes and flush the toilet when we returned from long trips but that was all
