What can I counter with?
An offer is being submitted to me today. The agent said the list price is higher than what they can pay by about 10K, but it sounded so nice they wanted to see it. I told him to have them make an offer, so I am expecting it to be that much lower than I want.
Can I counter with, "that amount now, and 10K in 5 years?"
or
What can you add to bring it closer to list price?
Antiques? Guns? Cars? trade work? property someplace else?
What strategies I can use to get them to add without the bank or the agent saying "no" to it?
My listed price is at the low end of the local comps. A similar house nearby is listed at 15K higher because of the view. Mine is near the end of the second month on the mls, (6 month listing) and average dom is 90-150.
