How to Handle Multiple Offers When Selling Your Pasadena Home
How should you handle multiple offers when selling your Pasadena home?
Answer:
When selling your Pasadena home, handling multiple offers requires a strategic approach—evaluating price, terms, and buyer qualifications to choose the best deal. May Kunka explains how to navigate this exciting but complex situation.
Why Multiple Offers Happen in Pasadena
In Pasadena’s competitive 2025 market, low inventory and high demand often lead to bidding wars—especially for well-priced, move-in-ready homes in sought-after neighborhoods like Madison Heights, Bungalow Heaven, and Linda Vista.
Step 1: Review All Offer Details
Don’t focus solely on the highest price. Evaluate:
Financing type (cash vs. loan)
Contingencies (inspection, appraisal, loan approval)
Closing timeline
Earnest money deposit
Buyer flexibility
Step 2: Weigh Price vs. Terms
A slightly lower offer with fewer contingencies or faster closing can be more appealing than a higher offer with multiple potential delays.
Step 3: Create a Competitive Environment
May Kunka often sets an “offer review date” to allow multiple buyers to present their best terms, increasing the likelihood of stronger offers.
Step 4: Consider Counteroffers
If you like certain offers but want better terms, a counteroffer can help fine-tune the deal without losing interested buyers.
Step 5: Stay Objective
It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of multiple offers, but focus on your selling priorities—whether that’s speed, profit, or minimizing risk.
