Seller claimed final offer?
Hi BP community,
I am in the midst of buying a 3 family property, the list price is $440. My initial offer on the house was at $420k, which was beat by an above list offer. Lucky for me, the offer from the other party fell through, and I am now the only party involved in this discussion with the seller.
After waiting almost a week, my buying agent tells me that seller came back with a final offer of $435k. No option to counter. Is that acceptable for them to do?? I had less than 24 hours to accept, and I did not see a formal counter in writing. Is this common??
