"My first offer was rejected, as expected, but luckily there was no competing offer. The seller's agent said that the owners were expecting at least $2.3m. It was interesting to note that when we were viewing the house, the owners were never around. In fact, there were tell tale signs that all was not well with the family. There was only one pillow, one bolster and one set of toothbrush in the master bedroom. My agent then did a search on when the house was 'last marketed' and noted that it was about 6 months ago. The owners had tried to sell the house 6 months earlier at $2.3m. We wanted to put in a bid of $2.2m as our second offer, but my agent advised me to be 'patient' and not appear to be eager buyers. As such, we put in a second bid at $10,000 higher or $2.138m. To our surprise, our second cheque for a mere $10k increase was accepted. Lesson learnt - couples into a messy situation are serious sellers as they want to get out of the marriage as soon as possible even though the offer was about $200k below market." Wow, kudos to this agent. Patience is the hardest thing, but it pays off very well sometimes.
