I put an offer on an apartment this morning for 20k below asking price. I rang back this evening, the 'Negotiator' has says the client is considering the offer but they really want the asking price (he actually said an amount that was 5k more than the asking price).
The apartment in question has been listed 3 times now on myhome.ie (twice before with previous estate agent) and asking price has dropped a total of 40k since early this year.
It has been at current price (with the new agent) for 2 weeks. There have been no other offers with current agent. One other slight twist - the seller is a group of executors...
My preference would be to pay no more than 10K under the asking price, if possible less...(strangely enough).
Any thoughts on how I should proceed? I'm pretty interested in the apartment, but this is the first offer I've made so please excuse my ignorance/naeivity...
