| House offer... So for those of you who have recently bought a home (congratulations btw!!!), how long did it take once you made an offer, for a counter-offer to come back? I'm sure it varies but I'm hoping it goes quick! (I'm a very impatient person.) |

| Well it only took 2 days, because our realtor gave the seller (in the written offer) only 2 days to get back to us, or our offer was off the table.

| Our realitor did the same thing also, only gave them a certain amt. of time! From the time that we put in the offer, it only took us 3 weeks for the closing and everything! It was very smooth and fast, I was excited!

| Like now I'm wondering how much people usually over list their house. Okay, that doesn't make sense but I don't know the lingo. |

| I think very few people "over list" their house. And if they do, those are the ones that take forever to sale. The reason is, that their realtor has an obligation to evaluate their house, their neighborhood and the market and determine what a house like theirs in their neighborhood would or have been selling for. Then a mutual resonable price is agreed upon by the seller and the realtor. To list your house for a price way above the market only lowers the chance of a quick sale. Now they may have determined the price of the house, allowing some wiggle room for negotiations, but we are only talking about a couple of thousand here and there. Nothing real drastic. So under bidding on a home could be a problem for you, but your realtor should have discussed that with you. If your realtor thought that your offer was reasonable, then I would not worry too much. She is not going to let you under bid, because she wants you to have that house too, because of her commission.

| I'm sure your realtor will put a time frame in the contract. one time we didn't put a time frame and it was fiasco because we had to get a release before we could bid on another house. That was only once and we have bought 6 houses over time. This time of year people usually are asking prety close to the price they want. The market has hit a dip and the overpriced houses are coming DOWN. Your seller should either accept your offer or probably make a counter offer which you can accept or make a counter offer back.
