Thank you all! I completely understand the point of seller holding negative feelings, and believe me, if it’s a house we truly have to have, we don’t need any agent to tell us to offer more – we will do so on our own – because it’s so hard to find something you really love. But if it’s not, well, if we don’t get a good deal on a house that’s not quite “there”, well, there will be other houses…On the other hand we try to not get too emotionally involved with all the houses that fit our parameters :).

And truthfully, the lowballing indeed has to do more with the market. The prices may come down some in the future, so if we buy now, it better be pretty good.

New Yorkers get better food from street corner vendors than we get at our finest restaurants in SD. The average New Yorker arrives in SD and does not stay because it is too much of a hick town for them.[/quote]

Totally agree about NewYorkers, sdr! I lived on the Upper East side for my grad studies and I miss to this day all the different ethnic foods one can find on almost every block.

So I figured. 🙂 I have a mind of going directly thru the listing agent. I didn’t appreciate being barked at about my lack of touch with reality with this 475K offer.

Supposedly our agent wants us to get the house we want ASAP so he is pushing for higher offers to stand a better chance. But we are content waiting for a good deal that we also like a lot.

Now, in those 9 months on the market, I am imagining this house has received low ball offers but they didn’t take them. The location is not too bad, good schools, and the house is in decent shape. Apparently they had an uncooperant tenant for the first 6 months or something like that. So chances of getting our low offer accepted are tiny, but I also thought it was worth a shot.

From the point of view of a realtor, don’t you think it’s too much trouble though, to put together an offer if you believe that the market is such that an offer like that would never be accepted?

Mind you in this situation, we don’t know about other offers, it’s a traditional sale, however, it’s in pre-foreclosure and has been on the market 9 months.

I guess I’d like to know how much realtors object to making lowball offers? Thanks!!!

It is NOT a Short sale – the listing agent said it’s a traditional. Probabil because it was bought quite a while ago, it has plenty of equity in it.

What shall I do if my agent does NOT want to submit such a low offer because in his opinion it doesn’t have a chance and I am completely out of touch with RE reality?
