No matter what the state of the market...though southeastern Wisconsin is clearly in a Sellers' Market..making a "first, last and best" threat to the Seller with a....you guessed it...below market price
....is....to our minds, foolish. This offer begs rejection and low alone can be an insult to the Seller.
The Buyer believes, stuck in another point in time in real estate..he is in charge...and certainly he has every right to decide how much he will pay for the house he will call home...and today, that means looking in that price range and not expecting the Seller to bend over and reach the below bottom line price.
Buyers that wite "with attitude" in a Sellers' market will have to continue to rent,...to lose money that could be equity...and pursue the never ending search for house where HE is in charge of the price. He will have to learn what it means to lose....often....or give up any plan to have the American Dream of home ownership become a reality.
Threats are never smart....they are not a "negotiating tool"....to our minds, it shows a closed mind...and one that leads to disappointment feigning the ever famous "...It doesn't matter to him if he gets it or not." Of course it does. Would you take the time to see it twice...get every relative you can find to "approve" the purchase if it were unimportant to you ? Threats are the enemy of opportunity.
My way or the highway...will lead to a dead end...a future as a tenant without a house that will be a forever...or any time at all, home.
If you or anyone you know is looking to sell or buy a home in southeastern Wisconsin, call the Hansons, we are honored to be of service.
