[quote=CA renter][quote=jpinpb]I abhore when it’s an inside job and sells the day of list or before it’s even listed. If it’s on the market for a while and someone contacts the LA and makes an lowball offer that gets accepted, good for them.[/quote]
Exactly.
As long as all buyers have the same chance, then it’s a legitimate transaction. This is why all buyers should feel free to “lowball.” It’s the only way you’ll know whether or not something can sell for your price (which just might be “market price,” in the land of delusional sellers).[/quote]
I agree with JP and CAR. ANYBODY knows they CAN lowball houses, they might just NOT get it, that’s the only risk. (ok, and maybe pissing off seller and agent(s)).
( I must admit, I didn’t know that you can lowball at superstores like Macys, good for you BG!)
What not all buyers MAY know is that they CAN go through the Listing Agent.
I’ve always looked at 50K above my top dollar (and below).
