Why would a seller not make a counter offer?
Home sellers sometimes issue counteroffers at full price, even in a buyer’s market. They may do this if they are irrational, they expect the buyers to counter back, they have a change of heart, the home wasn’t on the market long enough, or they get bad advice from their agent.
What happens if a buyer reject a counter offer?
Your counter offer effectively voided the buyer’s original offer. The buyer, who has been released from the original contract, has to agree to continue the conversation. They are legally free to make offers on other homes, and have no obligation to go through with this purchase.
Can a seller decline a full-price offer?

Does seller accept asking price?
