Part 2. Example
Seller: hi
Buyer: Hello
Seller: do you care to make an offer?
Buyer: The place sounds nice, but may be a little more than I can afford
Seller: well how much can you soend?
Buyer: I was looking for something in the 1500-1600 range
Seller: That is really unreasonable considering all the immenities and other going rates, you would need to come up to at least 3000
Buyer: I have seen some 2 bedrooms for that price, which I could split the cost with a roommate, so even with amenities, this may be out of my range
Seller: it may be then... the absolute lowest i will go is 2700. that is my final offer.
Buyer: Ok, I think the most I could spend on this is 2000 - we are a ways apart
Seller: ya that is far too low like i said 2700
Buyer: Ok, thanks for your consideration. I will have to keep looking for now.
Seller: good luck
Answer: housing
Explanation: The answer 'housing' is correct because a house is being talked about which is indicated by the mention of 'bedrooms' and 'amenities' which are words that are both related to housing.
Part 3. Exercise
Buyer: Hello, I am interested in one of these units. Does this unit have a fireplace? The ad only says that they are in select units.
Seller: Yes this particular one has one fireplace.
Buyer: Okay nice. Considering that I have to use the onsite laundry facility instead of having them in my place, I am putting up an offer of $1933 for this unit.
Seller: The laundry facility is free. So you won't have to cover the costs of fixing or repairing your own machines. We have to keep the rate at a certain limit to cover costs. Such as landscaping, storage, parking and security. The lowest we can go is 2000. Can you do that?
Buyer: Does that price include utilities and one of the large storage spaces listed in the ad?
Seller: Yes, it does. It's an incredible deal.
Buyer: Yeah, that is. Of course, I'll have to come take a look at the place but I agree to the $2000 price.
Buyer:
Seller: Thank-you for your time.
Seller:
