They countered, but accepted most of what we asked for. We countered back.

My wife is pissed at me for not taking it. I told her if they declined we would take their initial offer.

So it looks like I'll be living in Prattville with a pool.

I'm happy about it. We initially wanted to be there, but expanded our search to Wetumpka and then to Holtville when we couldn't find what we wanted.

We got lucky with this house because I saw it every day on Zillow and always passed by it because the cover photo (and almost all of the other photos) didn't look very good. Turns out the sellers just had a crappy realtor who didn't know how to take photos worth a damn. Our realtor walked through it yesterday on Skype with us and we were blown away. The master bedroom has 3 closets and a huge, floor to ceiling tiled shower and they didn't even mention it. They also didn't mention in the listing that there was an additional bathroom off the back of the house near the pool. They just left it off.

ETA: So we were expecting 3 full bathrooms and saw them when our realtor was in the house. She walks outside to show us the pool area and notices a door on the right side of the house so she walked over to it. She opens it and there is a half bath in there with shelving for towels and stuff. She couldn't believe the listing agent didn't put that on the listing sheet. I'm glad they didn't because if they had done it right this house would not have been on the market as long as it was.
