We found the house of our dreams, but it is a short sale,it has been on the market 210 days. They are asking 179,900. We want to make a very low offer on the house like 140,000. Would they possibly accept a offer so low on a short sale? Our realtor made it sound like a joke to offer so low even on a short sale. He said you should offer at least 94 percent of what their asking. But if its been on the market that long, wouldn't we have a chance possibly???
