This market <em>is</em> different, and adjusting to this new reality, both from a pricing and an expectation point of view is crucial. Thanks for the comments.

Run with scissors! Take it! My sense is that the first offer is the best offer, take it and move on. You have an offer? Run with scissors! Take it!

If you paid $150k for the place five years ago you made $140K for doing nothing much. 140/150--not much difference really. Be very happy.

A bird in hand is worth two in the bush. The first offer is almost always the best offer they will see. If they won't work with the buyer to negotiate price upwards, then they soon find out that they may have left money on the table and it's too late to go back to the first offer because they will have already purchased another property.
