Anyone raising price after getting a perceived lowball offer sends a clear signal that they don't know what they're doing. Real estate is often listed much higher than the sale price since it's (usually) much more difficult to go higher than it is to go lower. The seller has to set a price up front which is a disadvantage when negotiating. So sellers often set the price higher than what they would accept hoping that they can find a high price but having some wiggle room to negotiate down without being disappointed.
If you are given an offer that is below what you would accept, a polite no will suffice.
- _carbyau_ 5y agoDepends on how you view transactions. I like term "non negotiable" for exactly this clarification. It can be simple: thing that person is selling they personally value at X. If person buying wants to pay X, they get it. If I can afford not to do some weird social negotiation dance - I won't. I do realise though that sometimes I really want the transaction to go ahead so I have to do the dance. So while I am not about to endorse screaming "Did I fucking stutter!?" I can absolutely understand a person saying they want more now because you are making this process harder than it needs to be.
