This is what kills deals.

Not the price.
Not the market.
Not the house.

Ego.

The brutal math:

Buyer 1 "saved": $20k in negotiations

Buyer 1 lost:

The house (sold for $580k to someone else)

Buyer #2 won:

The house
No competition
Moved in 21 days

Who won?

Not the person who "negotiated hard."
The person who moved fast.

Here's what smart agents know:

Speed beats price.
You're not negotiating in a vacuum.

While you're countering over $16k:

3 other buyers are seeing the house
2 are writing full-price offers
1 is offering over asking

Every counter adds 12-24 hours.
Every hour gives another buyer a chance to beat you.

That $3k you're fighting over?

It just cost you the house.

The timing truth:

Your "negotiation strategy" is actually a delay tactic.

And delays kill deals.

What smart buyers do:

Come in strong; easonable, not insulting

Make it clean; Minimal contingencies, quick close

Counter once, maybe twice; 6 rounds = you're annoying

Know when to walk; If you can't agree in 2 rounds, move on

Don't negotiate yourself out of the house

The $16k nobody won:

For buyers:

Your agent isn't being "soft" when they tell you to stop countering.

They're trying to save you from yourself.

Every counter is a gamble that another buyer won't show up.

And in this market?

Someone always shows up.

Negotiation isn't about winning.

It's about getting the house.

The buyer who "won" the negotiation is still house hunting.

The buyer who paid more is moving in next month.

Who actually won?

‼️Attn: Home Buyers

🏦 Reach out to your mortgage professional as The Bank of Canada just announced a 0.25% decrease!

🔻This is a win for variable rate mortgage holders as your payments will be going down.

🔺 It's also positive for the housing market as lower rates equate to greater affordability and very possibly an increase in market activity.

⏭️ Once you’ve completed your mortgage pre-approval reach out to let the search begin…
