Made an offer at asking price. House is perfect and we really want it. Rang back the next day and increased to 5k over as we were more than happy to pay that.
EA called this morning to say that the seller has had a few offers and wants to know what everyone’s highest and final offer is. This makes me think that they’ve had several offers at the same price, and they are trying to see if one of us can step into the spotlight. So we’ve gone to 10k over asking. Honestly we are happy to pay that, it’s within our budget, but there must be a reason the house was valued at what it was listed for. 10k over is quite extreme to me. If it was worth that or more then why wasn’t it listed as more.
Desperate for this house but don’t want to pay a crazy amount of money. We technically have a max budget of about 30-40k over asking this specific house’s asking price but I’d rather save a bit of money, plus if the house isn’t worth that much in the first place then surely it’s a bad idea to throw so much money at it even if we think it’s worth it- or am I wrong?
