Help! Our list price is $274,000 with a 4.5% commission fee to the realtor. We bought the house at $285,000 so we are selling at a loss but we knew we would be and we were ok with that since we grabbed a great steal with our short sale house.
The offer is $260,000 with 1.5% (or $3,900) in closing costs. Everyone knows our house is a great steal at $274,000 but buyers want to get the best deal so it's understandable.
We are thinking of countering at $273,000 and $4,000 in closing costs.
What do you guys think?
Got an offer!

You could always counter with $265k or so but I don't see the point of countering with $1,000.
I am sure there is a chance they are just testing out your desperation, and they would pay the full price. BUT, the problem is there is a chance they aren't and that they will walk away. I don't think that's really a chance you want to take.
