The Counteroffer: Negotiating a Real Estate Deal

The Counteroffer: Negotiating a Real Estate Deal

Last Modified January 24, 2017 By Staff Writer

The art of the deal is negotiating. The goal, when you’re countering a buyer’s offer, is to get the highest price and best terms possible. Once you reject the initial offer, you must decide how much to counter. The answer is easy when the market is hot. You will counter at full price or more. If the market is normal, you may receive less than full price for your property. In this case, one strategy would be to set your asking price higher than normal. How much lower than your asking price will you counter-offer?

Key Takeaways:

  • Buying a home is rarely as simple as making an offer and paying that offer out. Negotiations can go back and forth for weeks before the seller and buyer are both satisfied.
  • Sellers may also counter your proposed closing date. If they need to move out quickly, they may want to push it earlier. They may also ask to rent the property for a time after the settlement.
  • Price and closing date negotiations are common from both parties, but there are even more reasons sellers can potentially get countered.
