What is a counter offer? A seller can respond to a buyer’s offer with changes. A counter that improves the terms. You need to put yourself in their shoes and construct a modified offer that you think they might take that meets more of your needs. Then it’s their turn to accept, reject, or construct yet another counter.

It’s an efficient market process, but beware that clauses and costs matter. Your broker should be closely involved in constructing a counter. Successful bargaining is best done with a win-win approach where each side meets their biggest needs while compromising on others to reach an agreement.
Remember that outside conditions like interest rates and supply and demand will keep evolving, so you’ll need to be patient but decisive to craft a counteroffer that works for both sides.
