salo-t hang in there. Let me ask you this, you said that this has happened a few times. Have you seen the actual sales prices on the properties you have just missed on? If so then how far off were the sales prices to your lowballs? Also don’t forget that there are other buyers out there who are doing the exact same thing.
I put a posting up not long ago that I had actually witnessed a slight uptick in traffic. I don’t know why but I have seen it over the past few weeks. It could be that some people have actually got it and lowered the prices enough to get some offers, or perhaps some buyers actually decided to jump in… I don’t really know.
Again though salo-t, it will happen… I just submitted a lowball offer for a client and it got punted as well. On the other side, one of my listings just got a lowball offer 10% below listing price. My seller was not offended and neither was I… She told me she would not take it but I am working on her to at least counter… she is thinking about it… Anyways your patience will be rewarded…
