Sorry I've been MIA....
I was in DC on Monday/Tuesday, where I got a stomach bug -- since then, I have been curled up in bed feeling miserable. This is the first time in two days I have felt well enough to sit in front of the computer. Still haven't been able to keep any food down - not fun.
ANYWAY. We FINALLY heard back late on Monday night that the developer would not accept our offer (SHOCKER!). He is, however, interested in negoiating with us for one of the smaller units. We will be doing this tomorrow night after work. We feel like we really have nothing to loose. We have been checking out the other developments in the area (actually, they are all within 3 blocks of this place), and we believe that this guy has priced his stuff too high. Either he gives us what we feel is a reasonable offer, or we walk. We are confident that we can find something just as good, if we continue looking.
