I agree with the "if it's meant to be...." statements. You've made an offer, keep the lines open. If it is priced that high, it'll probably sit a while.
Agreed
North40....buyers basically have all the power. I have always told real estate agents..."
seriously I am in no hurry what-so-ever" which gets passed along to the seller...that is not what a seller wants to hear...sellers/realtors want buyers that are smitten and just have to have the property.
It may sound corny, but visualize owning that property. It's worked for me multiple times. I've lost some purchases along the way too, but they weren't meant to be, and in retrospect I'm sitting better now than I could have imagined.
So true
North40...20 years ago I was visualizing the property. During slow times at work I would sketch-out the lay-out, the pond and the cabins placed around the pond. I would visualize even small details. Sometimes co-workers would laugh and say "good luck on that ever happening"...blah blah. It is pretty amazing how close the property today (bought in '12) resembles those sketches 20 years ago.
