A bid

[kareina]

On Monday evening we looked at a house in need of serious cleaning and renovation.
Just sent in a bid of 250,000 SEK (which is not much compared to house prices where my sisters live). They asked for 350,000. The Google translate version of what I said is:

"Now we have finished with the budget, and I have enough money to both buy the house and do renovation without external financing. Therefore, I bid 250,000 and am ready to close the deal on this price this morning."

The downside is that the house is in a small town, with neighbours on all sides. Therefore, if we get it the plan is renovate and sell for enough to get what I really want: a place with enough land to hold SCA events. Doing a practice renovation before doing my house of dreams could be good.

I just went and looked up the conversion. The price they were asking, 350,000 SEK, is slightly less than what a friend of mine paid for a car a couple of years ago. Granted it was a nice electric car and he's got a very well-paid job and no kids, but...!
