Yesterday didn’t end after the long talk with my wife. About an hour after we concluded “talking it out”, I began negotiating the purchase of a house through my realtor.
“Well, they are willing to accept your offer. But, they don’t want to put any flooring in.”
“That’s fine. Let’s lower the price accordingly.”
About an hour later, “They won’t lower the price. However, they will give you a $2,000 flooring allowance after closing.”
“What??? The house is close to 2,000 square feet. Are they saying that they can buy carpet for $1/sq ft?”
A half hour later, “No, we realize that the flooring will cost more than that but we think that is a sufficient allowance for you.”
???????????
Anyway, you get the picture. Needless to say, I was not all that eager to wake up this morning.
