So they just sold the house same day to the person with higher offer.
I was driving home from work the other day and though how I fcked up... liked the house, only 7-10 min extra to work from where I live now, town with lower taxes then all others (1500 per year in savings), town sewer(most here have septic), 2 car garage that I always wanted, professionally landscaped and paved driveway, solar panels installed with zero electric bill, new windows, roof, and tankless boiler, unfinished basement with ton of room to make few more rooms in the future etc. Basically this house only needed $20k invested in HVAC and hardwood floors on 2nd fl and it would be all set, about $300 per month in savings due to taxes and solar vs all other houses.
The most depressing part is that we are buying house for our son, so he can play outside (live in condo) and now for the next fcking 6 months and most likely more will have to browse Zillow daily and instead of enjoying life, drive to open houses every weekend which my son hates, but we have no one to leave him with.

I still don't understand what the assessment waiver is/does.
Why did the seller want it waived? How does it hurt them if it's not waived? How does it hurt you if it is waived?
Sorry you missed out on a good home, though.
