I think it is good advice to write an offer anyway. I will be firmer about that. I note that I often hear agents say that if you want to write a low ball offer, it my upset the seller too much so you should test the waters first. I don’t think this was such good advice as I once did. We all learn and I am still learning how to do this buying thing.

Some of these sellers though, 100, 200, 300 days on market and not a single price drop. I figure if you let your house be for sale that long, you are rich and don’t need the money anyway and it is probably your vaction home anyway.
