Where do these morons get the balls to tell me I'm not the one being realistic, when I'm the highest offer, by a significant margin, after 4 months?

Good luck finding the retard who will pay asking price, they probably will but the buyer will be an absolute fucking retard and therefore very difficult to deal with. Sale will most likely collapse in 18 months time and come back onto the market.

Enjoy.

Termites or flood damage. Hope you buy while smarter people don't fall for it

>>60628407 (OP)
it is already overvalued by 50%

Your offer was too high, they smelled the beta on it. If you came in at 230k they would respect you and take it

>>60628418
Every house is sitting forever rn, has nothing to do with termits

>>60628407 (OP)
Good on you for holding firm

Fuck these zestimate Zillow drones, I will never pay these ridiculous asking prices and we need more buyers to hold firm.

Oh you bought the house for $300k three years ago and now you expect me to pay $400k after putting some Home Depot door handles on the doors?

Fuck off

Tell your current realtor to fuck off and get another one realtor, then make an offer for $200k

>>60628407 (OP)
just send e offer for $200k and forget bout it. it will stay in their minds and every passing day that it doesn't sells they will think about it until they break down.

It is a house. Wait another 4 months and offer lower.

Tell them that next month the offer will be 10k lower.

>>60628407 (OP)
They got the ick. Someone who can't just give asking comes across as poor. You've got to offer asking and then reduce it on survey and that's how you rizz up the sellers.

>>60628517
This. But dont tell, just do.

I love the idea of getting a house, but the most I can hope for with memes or even my shido is to get a small apartment, or even live comfortably but pay rent, I'd rather just wait for the world to rot and start looking like fallout

Agent legally has to present all written offers to the seller. They then counter offer- that's what bargaining is.

>>60628444
Man.. im about to put my house on the market and bought 3 years ago and this is literally me. Youre getting me ready to be realistic thank you

>>60628433
Offer 45k

>>60628407 (OP)
It’s called neggin, not negen, though also neggin negan although this sounds closer to the behavior of a peggin steven.

>>60630242
Tell them you'll take it for $1 and that's dong them a favor

>>60628407 (OP)
>that will be $300k plus tip

It all depends on your lender's valuation of the house. They won't lend more than it's deemed to be worth. So, if your bank deems it to be only worth 270 or lower, you could then much more easily convince the sellers to sell it to you for that amount. That's how I got my house for several thousand lower than asking despite their being multiple interested buyers.

>>60628407 (OP)
you have to understand that the average home """owner""" is devastatingly cash poor and >95% of their net worth is likely tied up in plywood box equity. $30k is an incredible amount of money to them.

>>60628494
decrease your offer by $100 every day, each day

>>60628407 (OP)
Sounds like you're trying to live beyond your means.

>>60628407 (OP)
this is why housing isn't crashing
too many sellers just refuse to wake up and smell the coffee: you lost equity. deal with it
the good news is eventually reality will bite them all in the ass and they'll be forced to sell

Op here, I’m British and that’s priced in pounds.
It’s a Victorian terraced house in East Anglia

>>60632732
Nah, it’s worth 270. Hence why I’m the biggest offer after 4 months. It’s not *me* who’s being unrealistic.

>>60632740
They haven’t, they’re still profiting. But zoopla says they deserve even more money for nothing

>>60628407 (OP)
You'll actually find it's the Agent making the dumb decisions.
Agents have been artificially propping up the market to extract as much money as they can
They are the ones telling buyers to offer more than asking.
Even though you can offer $10K under asking and get most houses.

>>60628407 (OP)
i love how renters think that homeowners NEED to sell

everyone who bought pre-2022 is sitting on a cash flowing property with a sub-4% mortgage rate (free money)

>too many sellers just refuse to wake up and smell the coffee: you lost equity. deal with it

yeah just look at all the people underwater, its 2008 all over again
