  OMG! That is kinda freaky.

  Oh and I hear ya on some chicks have everything….that would not be me who has everything, unless you are my family who has no motivation to do anything with their life, well then I am a rich snob who doesn’t share. Ugh…)

  Maybe you should just snap her skinny little ass in half huh? I hear you are good at the virtual kind, you must be awesome IRL. LMAO…

  WHOA!  THAT IS WEIRD!!  But, at least now you KNOW it is the cool house to have.  And she surely shall like you if you buy her house from her.  Go to the birthday party and don’t let her kno wyou are interested… she may let something slip like, “this house is built on a fault line” or “we painted to hde the toxic mold, it will reappear in 3 months” etc.

  Just make sure your hair is fixed when you go to the birthday party and slip in that you want her house - just don’t let her know that you want it *too* much or she’ll probably think she can squeak more money out of you.

  Of course, you could also hold your tongue, make an offer, and watch her sh*t when you show up on the other side of the table at the closing

  wow…weird. I say do what they all said..I kinda like suess’s idea of make an offer and then let her see who it is on the other side..hehe if you act like you want her house, it will just make her feel that much more cooler. (much more cooler? thats not correct is it? oh well…you get my drift. haha)

  btw, hopefully you come to mom to mom again this fall, and you should invite her to come, and then we can all act way better then her, just for fun

  Could it possibly work out to buy the house w/o agents?  Both sides would save lots of money, but may not be worth it if she’s playing up the attitude.  DO you know why she’s selling?

  If you keep quiet, have the other gals in the playgroup give her advice on how to fix up house for selling (add play structure, new appliances, prof landscaping…!)

  I have to tell you, I did what Amy suggested.  We bought our house from a friend.  We were over at their home for a Super Bowl party in 2002, knowing they’d be moving in a few months.  We didn’t think it was remotely near our price range, so when they jokingly said, “Want to buy our house?” we laughed and told them we couldn’t afford it (It was about 600 square feet bigger and we had a new baby).  Later that day, the husband said, “You know, if you decided to buy it before we put it on the market with an agent, we could drop the price quite a bit.”  And that is exactly what we ended up doing…

  You have to be careful, though, when you know the person.  Sometimes that can make you uncomfortable asking them to do things or be more flexible on the price.
