Well, we got our counter offer... and somehow, through our miraculous extra-sensory choosing mechanism brains, we managed to find yet ANOTHER seller who countered with:
1) the original price
2) PLUS the cost of closing tacked on
3) PLUS one extra thousand dollars added, just for kicks and giggles.
Yes, another counter offer that is higher than the original asking price. In fact, it is a full ten thousand dollars higher than the price they had the house at last year... when it didn't sell after being on the then seller-favorable market for months and months. And they just can't go any lower.
Are we the only people in Evansville that read the news? Buyer's market! Popping balloons! Dismal forcasts! Recession night at hand! Do my armpits stink? Is that why they keep responding this way?
Oh well. We gave another offer back today but I don't think they'll take it. Looks like we have to keep looking, and wait for sellers to notice that nobody wants to pay more than full price for their home.
