I write this with nothing except frustration running through my mind. We have made 2 offers on houses now and both the sellers have refused to negotiate down from the list price. One seller came down a a tincy tiny little bit and the other refused to get back to us for 3 days to even let us know that they were so offended by our offer. I thought I heard somewhere that that is illegal, but maybe not. Anyway...
Do other people go through this same thing? Is it all part of buying a house? Have any of you even had a seller willing to negotiate or as a potential and hopeful homebuyer should the hubs and I only be offering what the list price is? I'd love to hear what you all think because we are really at a loss.
Please help,
not so cheerful me

Sometimes the seller has a bottom line (and sometimes the listing price is that)...but sometimes they are just jerks too :) As annoying and heart breaking as it can be, keep at it! It just means those first 2 were not meant to be. The other thing that got my seller to finally budge was my agent wrote the seller a note about it being my first place and how much I loved their place...blah blah blah....buttered them basically :) good luck lady!
