Can I Counter an Offer?

Yes.

Counteroffers are a normal part of many real estate transactions.

You may negotiate:

  • Purchase price

  • Closing date

  • Earnest money amount

  • Inspection-related repairs

  • Seller concessions

  • Included appliances or personal property

A counteroffer allows you to adjust terms while continuing discussions with the buyer.

Important Note

Once a counteroffer is made, the original offer is no longer considered accepted unless the buyer agrees to the revised terms.
