Cookie On My Mind
Got an offer within 2 weeks of house on the market - take it or hold out for better?
I know, it's such a gamble! What would you do, take the offer that's slightly lower than what you wanted, or wait for more offers?
Additional Details
Update - We countered, and they accepted!!! We're taking it!!! :)

I would counter---make sure you have all of the comps/market analysis to support your counter and make sure that your agent indicates that there may be some wiggle room--if that's what it takes to keep the ball in play. If it's just a "little" more of a discount than you'd like to give take another look at your net sheet and ask yourself if that bit of money is in the way of you realizing your goal. Is it worth it to take the gamble and hold out? Can your agent drop his/her commission to help close the deal quickly?

The market is in the crapper right now. Take it from me. (my house has been on the market for about 75 days) But you also don't want to pass up the best offer that this market is going to give you just because it's too early. That's what you want--quick closure to a painful event in your life (being a home "seller") Just count your blessings that you aren't cleaning your house every day for months (heavy sigh)--especially with that black lab hair! It gets old.

Take it, it could be another 3 months until you get another. 3 months taxes mortgage and insurance is probably more than the difference in asking price.

If the offer is acceptable take it, don't wait for another offer, there is no guarantee the next offer will be higher. The housing market prices have been going down slowly and the demand is a quarter of what is was 2 years ago in my area (Southern California). You don't want to chasing the market down. In the current buyers market, only the best priced and best conditioned homes even get an offer, and you may not see another offer.
Good luck with your sale.

take the offer.
housing is dead right now.
just look around you at the houses for sale and how long they have been on the market.

Take it and run! Sometimes your offer is your best!

If the offer was within about 5% of the asking price, I would probably accept it.

talk to your agent about a reasonable counter.


dabeemann
Theres an old saying in real estate, never accept the first offer.
Use it as leverage.
Countersign the offer and see if you can get the buyer up. If not walk away.
Good luck

How about countering in the middle?
