Got an offer on the house. It's a bit of a lowball but quite a few more homes have popped up in the same price range as ours in the last week. I'm afraid it's turning toward a buyers' market where we are - we may have been behind the trend nationally but seems we're getting to where other areas are.
We countered of course, but came a fair ways toward where they were. We have a dollar amount in mind of what we want to put toward the new house and anything over that is honestly gravy. Our realtor worked up a sellers' net worksheet and at this price we'd come away with $5k more than we want to put down on the new place. Not ecstatic, but it'll do assuming they accept. We should find out later tonight.

Had a showing at 9am this morning and they're coming for a second walkthrough at 5:15. That has to be a good sign, right? Right?!

The feedback we got is that they love the house except for the pantry (too small, on which we agree), and there's no double oven (which can be fixed). There are shelves at the bottom of the basement stairs that we use as a second pantry - not ideal, but perfectly serviceable. The easiest fix for the double oven would be a double range, though that admittedly makes them both smaller and isn't always the best option. The cabinets could be pretty easily reconfigured for a double oven and separate cooktop on the same wall where the range is now. We offered to give an allowance to do the work "for the right offer".
Also had another showing this morning, no feedback of any kind, though, which has become the norm.
Selling a house is the most stressful experience. I'm never moving again unless we miraculously become so

Instead of offering an allowance with acceptable offer, why not do what I call a reverse offer? I’ve done this on my listing that may struggle to sell.coogles wrote: ↑Tue Jul 08, 2025 7:02 pm

You hav someone interested and they mention they don’t like “x”. Get a quote to make it what they want, then present them a full offer.
Knock off some of the price, give a credit for the “x” fix, and put together a full term offer on your states offer to purchase/contract. This puts the onus on them to say yes, or no, and sometimes it prompts a conversation and forces them to make a decision.
This has worked very well for me in the past. It makes the buyer decide and you show creativity in that offer by trying to solve their problem. If left to their own accord and/or their agent, you won’t get much creativity or work around.
I hate to suggest this as your agent probably knows your market and what’s best, but just giving you an idea of what has worked for me and my clients. I like to think outside the box to get things moving. It has really helped.

sounds like a good idea. I am always confused about 'feedback' on listings. I mean...did they not see the pictures? Its not the 90's when you had to literally look through MLS books and schedule showings based on 2-3 pics and a tiny description.
Makes me wonder what kind of shit my agent said to sellers when we were looking in 2020 and toured a hand full of homes
but then again, market was red hot so they prob didnt even ask. Also, personal experience here again, a house that is priced right moves quick. If its not moving and does not have serious issues...its not priced right. Sorry for the difficulties man

It's a great idea. No idea if the contractor who did the work on our last house is still around but I'm going to reach out to him today.J-Ho-Fo-Show69 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 08, 2025 9:53 pm Instead of offering an allowance with acceptable offer, why not do what I call a reverse offer?
