Negotiations and Land Transfer Tax
He’s come back with $131,000… we’re going back with $129,000 since we think it’ll cost the $5,000 to bring it up to the same standards as what I’m living in now… we’ll see how this goes. Stan hasn’t called me back to agree with me on $129, so we’ll see.
I’m just so excited, I had to post!
As for the Land Transfer Tax, first time homebuyers, in Ontario, may be eligible for a refund up to $2,000. So while I’ll have to pay it, I am eligible for a refund, and my transfer tax won’t be above $2,000 so I’ll get it all back.. in, you know, probably 6-8 weeks, or more likely 4-6 months. So don’t forget if you’re buying your first home!
Pepper’s doing better today. She still hates the cone, but she’s more alert, and is back to her huge I’ll-eat-anything-you-give-me-NOW appetite, so that’s good. She still hurts though, but the pain meds seem to be working a little better than yesterday. So that’s good. Speaking of Pepper, I’m going to take her O-U-T now.
WHAT NEXT!?
$130,000. He’s told his agent that’d be good, so that’s what we’ve submitted now, he just has to sign… If he sign’s, it’s mine on March 15th! If not, I’ll be disappointed, and consider going up to his original 131… but maybe that won’t happen.
lol – the part where you were thinking about his original offer — you probably shouldn’ta posted that on the internet
lol probably… but the key words were “consider” and “maybe” and “won’t happen” and it wouldn’t have. Plus, I don’t think my blog is easily findable by my name alone.
