The seller’s stubbornness cost them $87,333.
Here’s the math.
Buyer came in at $1,250,000 on a $1,315,000 ask. Seller held firm at $1.3M. Buyer walked.
65 days later — price drop to $1,215,000.
Same buyer came back at $1,175,000. Seller signed back at $1,180,000.
SOLD. $70,000 less than the original offer.
But that’s not the full number.
65 days of carrying costs at $8,000/month — that’s another $17,333 out of pocket while the listing sat.
Total cost of not accepting that first offer: $87,333.
Gone. Because they wouldn’t move on day one.
