Help us decide how to proceed with low offer

[Screecy]

Our house has been on the market since before christmas. This is the first offer we've got - its way below asking. 551 and we're on for 630. Theyre SSTC. We'd be open to an offer much closer to asking but this nowhere near!!

What tactics can we use to get them closer to what we want? Our estate agent says theyre giving nothing away so no help there. Agent sees this as too low an offer but its the only one we've had.

I'm in the 'thank you for your offer but it's not the figure we're after, so we're sorry but we can't accept' camp.
It's your house you don't need to accept the offer if you think it's too low

This is the option we went for. Silence so far

I think you made the right decision, OP. Your house has only been at the reduced price for a few weeks and the market should start picking up now we're heading into spring. Hope you get a much better offer soon.
