The market is about to soften dramatically.

Not significant, but I think prices will soften.

In some ways it is, but at the end of the day money is money either way, so many sellers would feel bait-and-switched by the suggestion that a cash offer wasn't in fact a cash offer.Instead, I'd push to soften up the closing date and then work to have a back-up financier. 

I also think we're going to see prices soften in 6-12 months when federal aid subsides, but we're still suffering from a weak economy.

If there is a mixed use space that could work for retail or housing or home office I think that would be intriging, but I would wait for prices to soften further. 

Add lower cabinets along the right half of the brick wall to soften it or leave it.

Interest rates are low and prices will not soften in the entry level range.

They've moderated a bit, as buyer demand slowed during COVID pricing has softened accordingly.
