If you put your house for sale do you have to sell it if someone offers your asking price?
if asking 200k, and a buyer offers 200k, do you have to except his offer. is there a penilty if you change your mind and do not sell it to the offerer?

No you don't have to accept however like the other Realtor mentioned if you are in a listing agreement with a Broker you may be required to pay the commision. Most contracts have some verbage to the effect of " So long as the broker or brokers agent brings a ready, willing and able buyer to purchase the property at or above the asking price the full commision will be due"

If you are selling it By Owner then certainly you can say no with no worries. If not I would check the terms of your listing agreement.

But the question really is why would you not want to sell if you got a full price offer? If you have changed your mind about selling at all I would take if off the market. If you are hoping for a higher offer consider how long it took you to get that one and be greatful!! Many home owners out there would love a full price offer but they are not getting even one.

Best of luck!

No. But if your home is listed with a Realtor and you don't accept it, you might be obligated to pay the commission depending on the terms of your contract.


maddie_bales_13
no... you choose who you sell your house to, it is YOUR house, so you get to choose who buys it. you can askthem to go higher if you wish. no penility.

No its your choice which offer you accept. Some offer way more than what your asking price is and some offer way less!!!

I'm not a lawyer. And live in Mexico, so take anything with a grain of salt.

I think that if you have signed a contract for the sale transaction, or received any money in advance you might be charged or something.

If not, then probably not. But check with a lawyer.


luminosa
I don't know if there would be a penalty or not. But why in the world would you ask for a price and be lucky enough to be offered that price, then turn it down? Always ask a little above what you want and negotiate down the the price you really want.


freta_4
No you never have to sell your house, if you want take it off the market it is your house. Now if you accepted the offer you should have put in the contract pending you finding a house that you want to buy, then if you don't find a house the contract is null and void.

Nobody can force you to do anything. Its just what is it going to cost you for the consequences of your actions.

You list a home for 200K and somebody offers you 250K You can say no. Real estate agent might sue you for commissions, but you are not legally bound to sell your home. You can change your mind.


Tiamo
No, as long as there is no verbal or written agreement of buy/sell. They offering matching price means nothing.

- this is not legal advise


jamesnbarnes
If they are willing to pay you what you asked, why arent you willing to sell it? Unless you signed the contract, No.


natureguy2
Generally yes, unless they put a condition on it ,like an inspection, subject to financing, or if they want 90 days to sell their home.
If it is unconditional, then
you sold your home.
