Low-ball Offers

[Peace]

Hey WTS,

This is how I feel and I think most of us bears on Piggs feel – we know how much we can / are willing to pay for a house, and if you are willing to take it, then we have a deal.

As someone who has paid CASH for two of the four houses I have bought in my lifetime, I never take into consideration how much the buyer thinks it’s worth – it’s only about what it is worth to me – take it or leave it.

I’m the same person who walks in to a car dealer with a cash limit – when the dealer tries to tell me what I could have for that cash as a down payment, I just let him know that I am a very impatient person and I only have time to see and buy in that price-range and he better get on with it.

I’m saying that the buyers probably don’t really care what you think and don’t owe you no stinkin explanation – I have a feeling that most of the buyers out there right now are us hold-outs that know what we’re doing with our money.

WantToSell

I thing every seller wants to be able to see into the mind of the buyer but that is a lot to ask and to be very honest that is not your job unles you are your own real esate agent.

Your agent should be in communication with their agent and they should be the ones pryyiing that information from the buyers agent.

In any event while there are those on the bord who say that the 7 offers that have been made determine the market I tend to disagree. First off maybe those people are electing to overpay. Maybe your house is worth less.

But then again maybe you house is worth considerably more and there are more parties involved that are collectively trying to make offers to have you lower your price. I am not a real esate expert. The bottom line is that every seller should look to get the best deal they can and every buyer should do the same. The market will dictate what that will be.

I would say that the buying season would be May through September as I would think families would want to be moved in before school starts. I am certain there are a few realtors who can confirm or tighten up these estemates.

Ray/Wanttosell – The highest number of closed escrows are typically March – June. Note that statistically this is when the most closings are. So you really have to back up at least 30 days meanings that in a given year the best time to get your house on the market is February – April.

So the seasonal bump in activity is ALWAYS in the spring. Things start to slow a little in May and by June/July things slow down.

In any event while there are those on the bord who say that the 7 offers that have been made determine the market I tend to disagree. First off maybe those people are electing to overpay. Maybe your house is worth less

Everyone offer to pay what they think a particular house is worth. So, no, they don’t think they are overpaying. You might think they are overpaying, but that just mean you think the house is worth less than they do. A house is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. If the seller decide to keep the house because other buyers don’t think it’s worth what he/she thinks it’s worth, then essentially, the seller are selling the house to themselves at the price they want.

Also, please don’t assume people on here are jealous of you because they don’t agree with you. It just make you sound pompous and arrogant. Many on here can easily buy a $1M house if they wanted to. They just don’t think the current $1M house is worth a $1M.
