Make an offer on a house that you backed out earlier

[sdrealtor]

And the seller/listing agent will be skeptical because they “think” you didnt really love the house after all.

[protorio]

Just do it. Let go of the “personal.” If they reject it, they reject it. Until the deal is finalized, its up to the buyer as to how much they want to spend. The seller just decides how much they’ll accept. Your agent better not be giving you grief. If they do, I’d find another more competent agent. They should say, “well, here’s how it might be received… but I’ll do everything I can to put this offer in the most favorable light possible.” They should jump at any chance to “earn” their money.

If you really want it and they won’t deal with you, then lesson learned by you. Unfortunately, the sellers wouldn’t have learned anything. In this market, I’d take a reasonable offer if I needed to sell.

No point in bidding against yourself with a moderate initial offer.

I agree with protorio. It’s just business. “Love” should never enter into a RE buying decision. Either the property suits your needs (or will suit your needs after work is done) at a particular price or it won’t. Even if one of the buyers seems “emotionally involved” with the acceptance/rejection of an offer, this is NOT the business of the seller, nor should it be made known.

I agree that you shouldn’t bid against your last offer. This is a new day. Come in at your highest and best. The seller will either accept, reject or counter it. If they reject your offer outright, move on.

As a seller, I could have cared less if my buyer “loved” my property or not. I only cared about the buyer’s qualifications, amount of earnest $$ deposit, a timely closing, an acceptable amount of net proceeds to me and my lender’s timely filing of their reconveyance. Period.

Spoken like the true voice of someone who hasnt listed real estate in decades. As a seller you dont care that they “love” the house for the rest of forever, you care that the buyers actions show they show that they “love” it enough to make it through escrow. This is not emotions, it’s just plain good business. Going into escrow with what is generally perceived to be a flaky buyer is not good business.
