Re: counter offers
No, not always. We bid on a house that was way over-valued - original everything from 1950 - asking 429K, we offered 400K because we LOVED the house, and they refused to counter. And that wasn't even an unreasonable offer!

Re: counter offers
we had a few stubborn people that refused to counter, and we never offered that much less. its a pain becuase you don't know if they are waiting and will respond or if you need to move on

Re: counter offers
If they feel its a lowball offer they may not bother countering because it lowers their negotiating position.

Re: counter offers
Nope. The first house we bid on was overpriced so we took our friends' (and LIF'ers) advice and offered about 10% under market value for it. With that, we "insulted" the seller and he refused to deal with us.
