Good on Ya Boomie!!!

We had similar offers last year before we came out. Seems if the people know you are emigrating they think they can take the piss

Don't let the house go for any less than 180K

You stick to yer guns the right offer will come

Good for you Boomie

Found same when selling mine. They fink you've had a lobotomy to qualify for emigration

If it's already had interest then its saleable. Bet your bottom dollar someone else will be along soon

Fingers crossed & good luck

Havent you heard of the art of negotiation?

Its just an offer, I'd try the same if I were them because you never know how desperate a seller is. Its all a game. Now you go back and say, 'no'. But we'd take, say £1000 less, not £15000. Then see what happens.
Dont forget, your agent will tell you exactly what you want to hear. Dont trust them an inch. They are probably telling the buyer that you will drop your price if they start low with their first offer.

Be suspicious but not dismissive. Good luck, know how you feel.

We've bought a few houses, and tend to offer those ridiculous prices too But sometimes they get accepted

One house was for sale at $245k, we offered $210k. Went up to $212k. We got it ! I was a bit surprised to say the least.

Another with a value around $340k (in my opinion) we offered $280k, but finalised at $285k. 12 months later is was $380k.

You will get people like that I know one guy that makes offers on around 20 houses each week, just hoping that the odd one gets accepted.

There is a fairly solid rule of thumb that for many sellers/ purchasers, there's a 10% 'possible' lower price negotiable. Maybe not so stupid for them to offer what they offered, it's only about 7.5% less than your asking price.

Round here we routinely expect to get 10% off.
