Home purchase negotiations advice.

Hi everyone, I’m looking to buy a home in the Boston area. The home was listed for $589k and needed some work and updating.

They did an open house which I was unfortunately unable to attend. Instead, after the open house yielded no offers I was able to get in for a private showing.

The next day I submitted an offer of $589k with $10k in sellers cost which I would use to off-set my closing cost and redistribute the finds to some much needed work.

They rudely said no and said “anything less than asking is completely inappropriate”

I thought it was weird but said whatever and moved on.

Lo and behold - they held another open house with NO OFFERS again! Mind you, this is one of the hottest and most competitive markets in the country.

They reached out and asked if I was still interested.

What should I offer now? My 10k in sellers credit was rudely declined and they took their chances on a second open house and failed.

I was thinking $580k with the 10k sellers credit.
