We have a realtor.

Also, overpriced homes will get fixed when the bank runs an appraisal, they will refuse to loan you money if the house is overpriced. Then the seller either needs to drop the price, or the deal falls apart unless you personally want to add cash to the deal to compensate for the difference...which you shouldn't.

Yeah, this house went "under contract" once and is back on the market. I'm assuming the home didn't appraise high enough for the asking. We are having our realtor try to feel out the listing realtor to see if he can tell if that's the case. They both work for two different offices of the Gary Green BH&G realty offices.

they are currently asking $240k. I think they need to be asking $140-160k, but even if I'm off and it's $180-190k, it's still way off. To get to $240k, it'd have to be tip top with some modern amenities and upgrades.
