Let The Games Begin

Well- we are still going back and forth with the developer about the price of the lots. All the other lots sold for about 15% less than the list price. The lots have been for sale for 7 years.We felt that 10% off was a more than fair offer. We aren't going to pay a dime over that. The developer is saying he doesn't think he is asking enough and is thinking about relisting all of the lots at higher prices. Fine. Do it. But not in the middle of someone's offer. I don't play games with people and I don't like it when people play games with me. Our agent just told the developer that the offer stands as is and that they have until Monday to accept or decline it. I realize that the area we are looking at is an upcoming hot spot because of the rising prices of land in town and the closeness of this particular city to downtown. (When I was growing up there we had one red light...now there is a bundle of traffic and new development.) Target is even getting ready to build there and you know if Targetti comes you are the stuff as far as being a cool place to live. Anyway- I am not worried. I try not to stress about things I have no control over. Our agent thinks the developer is just seeing if we will pay more, but I don't know. He may just be a total jerk and has decided that he is going to get greedy. I guess we will find out on Monday! On a good note, Emmaline has been really good for me all week-end. She has been really needy (as always) and we have played about 422 rounds of Cariboo but overall she has been perfect. She snored like a freight train last night and I think I may have slept about 4 hours. Tonight I hope to get a few more winks in. I plan to make cookies (from scratch) with her tommorrow and will need the energy!
