Teacher: Given a text passage as input comprising of dialogue of negotiations between a seller and a buyer about the sale of an item, your task is to classify the item being sold into exactly one of these categories: 'housing', 'furniture', 'bike', 'phone', 'car', 'electronics'. The output should be the name of the category from the stated options and there should be exactly one category for the given text passage.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? If you are still confused, see the following 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
Solution: housing
Reason: 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.

Now, solve this instance: Seller: Hi there!  Are you interested in the apartment?
Buyer: I've been looking at it. Why did the last tennant leave?
Seller: The last tenant left because they bought a home of their own.  We are actually running a special today.  You can secure the apartment for the discounted price of $1800 if you sign the lease today.  Are you interested?
Buyer: I am interested, but that price is too much for my family. We have budgeted for $1000 monthy rent. We can pay our deposit today if that monthly price will work for you.
Seller: We cannot afford to rent for $1000.  What is the absolute highest rent you can afford?  If you cannot afford more, then we cannot rent to you.  
Buyer: We really like the home, and would hate to lose out on this offer. If you can include water and electric I can pay a total of $1500. The extra $500 will more than cover what we use, and would allow us to rework our budget to afford the higher rent.
Seller: I wish I could agree to that.  How about if I waive your security deposit and have you sign a 3-year lease.  This way you go into the rental with a bit of extra cash to allow you to reorganize your budget.  I can lower the rent to $1750 if you are willing to do this.  Water is included, but not electric at this price.  Deal?
Buyer: That is much appreciated. We can almost fit that into our budget. If you can take an extra $50 off, bringing the total to $1700 per month, we have a deal.
Buyer: 
Seller: Deal!  
Seller:
