How long to leave asking price offer on the table

Hello! Just looking for some advice.
last Thursday we offered asking price on a house that we had fallen in love with. Seemed a reasonable price, if not slightly high, but we loved it so thought it would secure the deal.
We’ve sold our house to a cash buyer and are ready to go. Estate agents rang the vendor and they said they wanted to wait for the other viewings. Fair enough. One viewer cancelled and the other didn’t want to offer. I’m not sure if they had other viewings booked in, but the estate agent rang me on Tuesday and said the vendors wanted the night to think about our offer and they would ring on Wednesday. I rang the estate agent last night and they said they’d rang the seller 3 times, left a voicemail and text and have heard nothing. I rang again today and same thing. How long do we leave this offer on the table?! I loooove this house, but this is stressing me out big time! It’s been a week now since we offered asking price and we’re getting nowhere. We don’t live in an area where houses are selling above their valuation.

@Birdington oh gosh, I feel for you!!! The stress is next level isn’t it?
have you put an offer in and they’re waiting for the other viewings to go ahead?
try and stay positive, I know it’s easier said than done 😬
