Sometimes you'll absolutely LOVE a new listing... but not the asking price.

You might believe it's a fair price for the house... it's just more than you would want to pay.

Or... you might think the price is too high for the house.

Regardless, you don't want to pay the list price for the house.

Maybe you'd pay $20K or $30K less than the list price... but you wouldn't pay the list price.

In such a situation, most buyers conclude that while they might or might not make an offer... they won't be disappointed if a buyer comes along that is willing to pay the list price for the house.

A helpful perspective to consider as a buyer is whether you would be disappointed if someone else other than you gets to buy the house.
