Buying my first house
I put in an offer of 630000 for a house i want.
The agent said 640000.
I said no. then the agent asked for 635000 and i said no.
The agent said the owner wants more and put the property back on inspection for the week. it all ready passed in at auction.
Is this a pretty standard post-auction pressure tactic?
I feel like I am bidding against a ghost and he is just trying to squeeze my balls.
The thing is though, I want this house.
What is the proper and smart play here?
