yes, absolutely they are (but doubtful until they've been on the market awhile)
always take a look at 'days on market'
sometimes people will hold tight, sometimes they just want to get it over with and will accept a reasonable offer
you just need to be prepared to walk if the seller won't budge and you're not willing to come up...the seller may come back to you
20 years ago we made an offer below what a fellow wanted for a condo on a really nice lake...he turned us down and counter offered us
when he turned our initial offer down my wife decided that she really didn't want that condo, and because he rejected our offer we were off the hook...so we walked and bought a house near the seashore
the guy chased us for another 2 weeks with offers that made the deal even better than what we had originally offered (apparently he needed a quick sale)
we've bought/sold 8 houses...each deal was different....three were new houses...some didn't include a broker
there were a few where we said to ourselves...'that's the one...let's just do it'...
ya never know how the deal is gonna go down
