I did exactly what they tell you not to do when looking at buying a house. In my mind I had the entire house mapped out stuff and new colors on the walls. I even redesigned the kitchen and laundry room. Did I mention the fabulous new PVC recycled deck on the back? I trapped myself through my imagination into thinking the house was ours. It certainly isn't quite..is it?
We got the offer back from the bank's agent. Who by all accounts ( and I have seen the man's emails) is an idiot. Not the garden variety either. The kind who gets offended when asked by us( after several days of waiting) for an answer by the end of business on Friday of a holiday weekend. Yea, he did. We got an answer back. Honestly I took it well considering how ridiculous it was. Frankly the waiting to find out the counter offer was far worse than hearing they came back at us wit a number so crazy it was a joke. Actually our agent's words exactly were "this is a joke".
So now we play ping-pong as I like to call it. We fling a few more bucks at them they fling a few less at us. Hopefully we can come to an agreement. I have not lost all hope yet I think. SO the game continues. We can go at this for a while so I will not bore people with this situation any more until it is finally over. I think this has taught me a lot.
Well at least I have better perspective, I haven't started moving my furniture in.

Tell them you're willing to walk if they won't accept your offer. They are playing games because they're trying to get you to pay them more than you're willing to. Don't give up. :)
They're already hoping to guilt trip you into giving in. Don't give in. Pretend the bank's agent is talking to you while wearing Mickey Mouse boxers and red socks. LOL
