Houston, we have an offer

In sum, we have cash and loans adding up to $1.1 million. You have a house we want, on a piece of land we want, in a neigborhood we want.

You seem to feel your house is worth $1.5 million

Zillow seems to feel your house is worth $1.3

We feel that your house is worth $1.1 to us.

It's been 100 days. We will make this offer again in 30 days- but the amount will go down again.

Pointing and laughing

For the people who have screamed out about "catching a falling knife", I hear ya, really I do. But the uncertainty of living in a rental or buying at a (what we consider a reasonable price) greatly reduced (think early 2004) price in a superior school district at 6.5% interest on our loan really influenced our decision. We will be in a neighborhood that we love (even at night) with parks, superior schools and a grocery store within walking distance. The backyard has room for the swingset of doom. The guest room is sufficiently removed from the rest of the house so my mother in law doesn't have to listen to my children at odd hours of the day and night.

Really, how much is it worth to you to have commuter train hurling through your back yard on its way to Santa Monica and back?

Someone wanted to know what kind of buyers pay $1 million for a lousy post -war box on a postage stamp... well that would be us. While we both understand that we could live in Olathe , Kansas or somewhere off of U .S. 1 for less than a quarter of what we pay here, our jobs, families and friends are located in Los Angeles and here is where we are staying until our jobs move elsewhere. We both purchased homes we loved in our single years and now that we are married with kids, those homes in lousy school districts and "transitional" neighborhoods with no parking and endless parties are not exactly the place for us.So my house is currently in escrow for what feels like the 170 th day for $50,000 less than asking price and the ten of us -- my husband,three children, one exchange student and four cats -- are crammed into one of those 3 bedroom 1 bath post-war boxes in Culver City that everyone seems to love.We are seeking a home within a 30 minute commute of Santa Monica ...
