Seeking feedback/suggestions on a counter offer. Original ask price $335k: original offer was $320k and seller pays for and completes main water relocation OR $300k and buyers fix the main water meter. Sellers have countered at $310k and buyers pay for main water meter relocation.
Wanting to counter with $310k contingent on a buyer obtaining a quote detailing that the water relocation does not exceed $20k in repairs (as is estimated by the current owner). If quote exceeds $20k, seller will provide credits OR price reduction.
What are some other creative ways to counter here, knowing that the water meter relocation will be a pricey headache to inherit?
