You really do have to be willing to walk away or any of your negotiations have a good probably of being tested and falling through.
Yeah, in hindsight, putting in an offer before driving down to see it and throwing $4,500 down wasn't the best first move to make if I wanted to be in control hah.
I am definitely caving a bit here but fuck it, I'm really ready to be done. The original plan was to wait for the appraisal and bug report to come back and give them one final chance to concede $5k. Buuut I'm just not that willing to walk. As pissed as I was yesterday, I was watching some downhill/freeride compilations videos on YouTube with the kid and he has been super amped about building a bike trail in the back yard. I was looking for a comparable replace for $400k and just wasn't finding any either. So I'm out $2k, whatever.
