Got a second offer on the house

[mvd]

It’s still lower than we want even despite the house understandably not being in perfect condition as it is over 10 years old and lived in all that time. And we can’t afford repairs. But things may work out. Asking for good luck wishes. Thanks all

1. Good luck on selling the house.

[mvd]

2. Thanks Deb

With the election being so bad this would at least be a boost if it works out.

4. Thanks!

5. Do you and your mom

Have a new place lined up yet?

[mvd]

6. Not yet but I hope so soon

Even if the offer doesn’t work out we need a place. My area isn’t cheap unfortunately.

7. See if the social worker can get elder housing

Where you can live. Depending on what you make from the sale, might have to downsize to a cheaper condo. Did you say you owe money on the house?

[mvd]

8. A lot of money

Haven’t been able to pay the mortgage since my dad was alive almost 6 years ago. That’s why the offer counts so much.

9. Right. I get it nt

10. We're still negotiating

As of now I am not sure it would be enough for us to look for another place but maybe they’ll go up. The market is more buyers market than it was. And we have to pay the real estate agent’s commission and mom’s lawyer. The lawyer has done all this work so far for only an initial $300.

11. Have you told your social worker

You"ll need housing maybe? Maybe your mom can get into rent-controlled senior housing.

12. It's a possibility

Many have long waiting lists

13. Sign up asap

Or ask the SW is it lotto based.
