How I made my "lowball" offer just a little more palatable
Had an agent call me back today on a fixer house I'd inquired about a while back.
It had been listed since early November and not sold. So they dropped the price from $590k to $550k.
Still high by my guesstimate, but even with the recent price drop, the agent was open to receiving an offer below list.
When I asked โ€œ๐˜ผ๐™ง๐™š ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š๐™ง๐™š ๐™–๐™ฃ๐™ฎ ๐™ฉ๐™š๐™ง๐™ข๐™จ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™–๐™ฉ ๐™˜๐™ค๐™ช๐™ก๐™™ ๐™ข๐™–๐™ ๐™š ๐™ข๐™ฎ ๐™ค๐™›๐™›๐™š๐™ง ๐™ข๐™ค๐™ง๐™š ๐™–๐™ฉ๐™ฉ๐™ง๐™–๐™˜๐™ฉ๐™ž๐™ซ๐™š ๐™ฉ๐™ค ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช๐™ง ๐™˜๐™ก๐™ž๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ฉ?โ€, she mentioned having a flexible move-out date would be helpful.
So I'm adding the following additional provision to my offer:
โ€œSeller Possession After Closing: Buyer is open to discussing a short-term post-closing occupancy, lease-back, or escrow hold-back arrangement for Sellerโ€™s benefit, subject to Buyerโ€™s written approval and the execution of a separate written agreement addressing term, rent (if any), security deposit or hold-back, insurance, and liability. No post-closing possession is granted unless and until such separate agreement is fully executed.โ€

Sometimes solving a seller's dilemma with terms can help cinch a deal at the right price.
