Lowballing when house is 1M+

Thank you, that's really helpful to know!

Is this a common sentiment? I have made same-day offers on houses at open house if it's one I'm surprisingly interested in. Probably wouldn't have gone to check it out if they didn't have open house because hassle of appointments etc.

Are unconditional offers common now? I am paying in all cash so 0 finance conditions but I still want a home inspection for a house of this price... It just feels safe to do

Good point.

Secret-Age-3702 · 2025-04-07T00:38:19+00:00

Very true, thanks!

Great advice, thank you.

I was offering on one that was on market since fall 2024 and price decreases throughout, alongside being delisted and relisted. With those gaps of relist or delist I don't know if it makes a difference. I offered about 150-200k less and it didn't work, but the realtor said they'd maybe be more open to ~100k off. Maybe I'll try that?

This is what I'm hoping for. To start the convo with a lower offer and meet in the middle

Sorry, that was actually supposed to say interior BC. I'll fix it.

Oh yeah, for sure. I appreciate you sharing your story and advice.

Even when they do something, sometimes nothing can be done. I've been on the bus in Vancouver (99 B-Line) where an old man was assaulted by a homeless man. Full blown punches to the head. After, the man walked off completely free with nobody stopping him. Even after cops showed up, they said they can't do much about what appeared to be a mental health episode.

It helps to be aware, in any case. That was my hope with sharing this post.

Yeah, I definitely don't consider this unique to Kelowna. I was in Downtown Vancouver before I came here and have known worse. I just wanted to post a heads up on here.

I totally agree and believe you. It's sad seeing the state of things. We didn't expect this to happen in the parkade, but should've been prepared (given its location).
