Should I Accept the Highest Offer?

Not necessarily.

While purchase price is important, other factors may impact the overall strength of an offer.

Consider:

  • Financing type

  • Earnest money deposit

  • Contingencies

  • Requested repairs

  • Closing timeline

  • Buyer's ability to perform

In some situations, a slightly lower offer with stronger terms may be more attractive than the highest-priced offer.
