Contract Schmomtrack

Ok, I can't remember being a demanding first home buyer, but apparantely I should have been. The potential buyer wants to pay us 5K less than our asking price PLUS she wants us to help with ~6K of closing costs/fees, etc... AND she wants a home warranty AND our washer and dryer? This is not including the repair costs of up to 2K!

Is this for real? Let me make sure I'm doing my math correctly....if we took this offer, we would be SO UPSIDE DOWN! Plus we still have to pay the realtor fee! So, we came back with our SELLING PRICE plus all the junk she wanted. She came back with 1K more than her original offer.

Seriously? I realize it is a buyer's market but come on!
