Offers over?

passion_flower

If the house is worth it for you be honest and say, I can only afford 171k !!! They can either say yes thank you or no thank you. I do not like game playing, I was honest with every viewer we got through the door. I hate wasting people's times and equally I hate having my time wasted.
Only you know if its right for you good luck hope you love and hope they will sell it to you.

Haha! You just reminded me of the owner of a home we viewed a couple weeks ago.

It is priced at offers over £215k, been on market over 3 months, within 3 mins of arriving, before showing us around she said 'I will tell you now, I will not accept anything less than £220k'

Blimey! Perhaps she would have been better saying offers over 220k?! And what a way to scare a potential buyer off. I always make sure I am out when the EA shows people around, I hate viewings when the vendor is in, you feel like you can't have a proper look so I don't do that to other people viewing mine.

I don't want to sound rude but I wouldn't laugh at any owner wanting/ expecting a certain amount like I wouldn't think any buyer cheeky making any offer.
It is up to you to offer what you want/can afford and think the house is worth. I think that's the problem with most buyers everyone is scared to make an offer for fear of being rude or being laughed at and vice versa.
The way I see it only a buyer will dictate what that house will sell at.

Sorry I think the fact is both need to agree on a price for it to sell.

Or am I missing something obvious here ?

I can understand why it's done but now I won't look at any with offers over because it annoys me lol.

When I was looking there was a lovely bungalow with offers over £250,000 it eventually sold for well over £300,000 - £320,000 I think. My hubby said that's what it would go for whe he first saw the ad.

Of course it is and I'm sorry my post didn't make it more clear. What I was trying to say is that no matter how much the seller will expect to receive for their house eventually they will have to accept what a buyer is prepared to pay for it, if they ever want to sell.
