hi all,
i put an offer on a house last night that was advertised as "offers over 180,000". (This is after my purchase of another last week).
Anyway, i put an offer of 180,100 onto it. the agent rang me back today and said "no" and said that the vendor is expecting something around 190k. I replied saying that "i won't go any higher" and the agent then said, "well they may take 185k".
I responded saying thanks but i'm not going any higher.
It really annoys me when they market houses saying "offer over such and such". i make a legitimate over over that amount and they still want to go higher. so i end up walking on the purchase.
Why can't they just say, "for sale at 190k"? Then i wouldn't waste my time and theirs..
Oh well - they may still come back to me if they cannot sell. I may have found another by then anyway.
