Looks like house is a no go. Vendor trying to playing bidding games well above projected value. Ho hum, I'll stop pricing curtains.

Also an option, but no discount card. I love my Ivar system and have bits that don't exist any more, like the corner turning unit. Never giving them up!

often it's the real estate agent doing that

reas get more money that way. They do it by setting a price and for that sale they get a flat fee. The reas then negotiate a percentage of the price they can get that's over the initial price.

This is a private. No REA so she gets the lot. Which means going low ought be a thing.

Red flag for me - nobody is giving this owner a reality check on actual market value. You are right to move on.

I've priced every unit the the block for the available internet history. We are offering a smidge over already. So, yeah.
