I don't think she liked the Adendum that said she will have to pay all closing costs. And I'm half tempted to take her offer. It's still not out of our price range and I really want the condo... any advice on that?

I had someone do this to us when we were origninally looking for our place. She was selling privately. She ended up pulling out of the deal at the last minute, then hemmed and hawed. She passed on us and then she tried selling with a broker.. story goes on for almost 1 more year, and she finally sold her place pocketing almost $40k less than what she would have selling it to us.
That said, since it's a condo, look at the rest of the properties for sale there. Remeber that the location of the condo is going to be tantamount. Location to parking, pool, sunsets, views, etc.
The one that I write about before had a bigger bedroom than what we have, but it looked out onto the underside of the Williamsburg Bridge from the 7th floor. Our place looks over the East River on the 17th floor. Because we waited and didn't force the sale, we found something that is much much better.
But if you think that there is value in paying a premium for that particular property, then do so. Otherwise, I'd just wait for another one in that same complex.
