We must have offered on over 10 houses and have been asked to "make another offer". Now I always go in with "I like this house, I'm not interested in endless offers, this is what I'm willing to pay, my offer stands until I find something else". We've bought two homes this way.
I'd rather lose the house than play the financial gouging game.
Yeah, I have a friend who kept missing out and going over more and more every house he offered on. He finally though fuck it, im gonna put home report and he ended up getting the flat. Sometimes its just your luck, although things are mad the now.
I have only bought one place ever but went in with best, were told someone else bid higher but we were more attractive (no chain), we said it's our best already, and we got it. I am not keen on repeating the experience anytime soon.
