When most people picture negotiating on a home, they picture one number: the list price. You offer somewhere under the asking price, the seller counters, you settle in the middle, and whoever gives up the most ground "loses." For a lot of buyers, that back-and-forth...
If you've spent most of your life in a neighborhood connected to public water and sewer, the first time you fall in love with a rural property in York or Lancaster County, someone is going to mention "well and septic." You might nod along while...
