Hi There, would love to get your advice.
We went to first home open last week of a house on lower north shore. We really loved it and decided to make an offer pre auction.
So first offer went in at $1.275m unconditional. Real estate rang back and said can you do $1.35m. I said no way and final ended on a price of $1.31m. she said he was taking it to vendor and could we exchange tonight if accepted. Anyway day rolled on and no update, RE said they couldn't get in touch with owner. Next morning get a call that there is another buyer who has made a verbal and whats my next move. I hinted at 1.33 but she said that wont be enough.
So then got me thinking was there a legit offer on table? I then replied that I am still considering options and we do have an auction we going to bid at on Saturday. No reply.
So now considering my options. I am thinking we can stretch our budget to 1.35m so that would be our best offer. Might go to home open today and go talk to RE and make verbal. The other option is stand my ground and walk away onto next one.
Played the game of not being that interested to date, should I keep that going or now change tack and communicate to agent we really want this place?
Any ideas or advice would be appreciated?
