Prices are dropping

So we gave up on the house we were making offers on earlier in the week. We gave them our final offer and they came back with an offer that wasn’t close to that so we are done with offering on that house for a while. I got an email from Realtor.com this morning, it looks like they dropped the price $3k recently, too little too late for us. We’ll take a look at making an offer again in the future, but it won’t be any more than we’ve previously offered, perhaps less.

So right now we have two offers out on short sale homes in the Parker area. We’re hopefull that one of those will go through, but we’re not expecting to hear much back on those any time soon. I did get a realtor.com email last night with an interesting house that just went on the market in Parker, so perhaps we’ll see if we can’t line up a few more new listings and make another trip out there in the next month and look around.

We’re starting to think we may end up doing a short term, month to month, lease on an apartment out there if both of these short sales fall through.
