Is this her?

Buyer either just got sticker shock, or buyer is expecting an impossible deal.

Buyer may not know what values are in the market.

Annette,

This buyer should stay away from California...A

I get calls on listings all the time where when I'm asked the price, they reply "that's out of my budget." which tells me they do need a Realtor and they are wasting their time without one.

He or she is not familiar with the market values in the local area

At an open house this realtor came back three times, each time called me while all high offers poured in.  I told him early this home sellers will counter back with multiple offer but will not do two or three times to blow the neighborhood home prices.  He came back with the lowest offer and was not countered. Rec'd a real nasty note after eMail sent out to all not accepted. "I work so hard signed 100 pages of disclosures  & reports. If we ever cross each other's path I will get it even with you".  He needs to know in this market if you are thinking sellers will consider your low offer below the market you should not mislead your client to believe it will get you to places.

  Fish or cut bait.

Annette Lawrence , Palm Harbor, FL 727-420-4041 This home might meet his criteria, but it does not meet this budget. He needs to come down to earth and purchase something within his price range.

He is unprepared to buy even though he boasts otherwise. He also has no idea how much things cost. 

Why is buyer reviewing sold homes? You can't buy them & the chances of those particular styles coming up again in those same conditions is nil to zero. Better chances with the lotto.

Why didn't he pull the trigger before?

Has Champagne taste on a Beer budget

Offer him this one

Not a real buyer/doesn't realize the value of properties.  Thinks $330k is a lot of money... obviously he isn't from California!!

Buyer, based on what you have shared, would appear to be clueless about the market. 

Not motivated...unrealistic view of the world.... something for nothing mantra....

Just another day in paradise.

I had some buyers and I would ask what they wanted to offer. They went in with three low offers. Fourth time around they asked my opinion, I told them, and they bought a new home.

Their stars (desires and budget) are not properly aligned.

Maybe the buyer is overwhelmed by the price?

Good question for a prospect.

He needed cold water splashed on his face way before this....

Thanks for sharing Annette Lawrence , Palm Harbor, FL 727-420-4041 

I'm getting the "deer in the headlights" look myself...

Maybe it's because they are procrastinators? Champagne tastes on a beer budget? Big eyes?

When i am a buyers buyer broker, i would answer with what my opinion was. Before i do, i like to learn my buyer, know their wants, needs and such as what i like may not be what they like and what they want or need, may not be my needs. I always check comps of homes we see and if it is a good deal i tell them. If a bad deal, i can quote comps and let them decide. 

We know the buyer was probably on Z or T doing their hunting not using your site LOL

Buyer shouldn't go to open houses of properties he can't afford.

They aren't up-to-speed on local prices. 

That the buyer likely isn't aware of the market conditions. If the buyer saw it during an open house, wouldn't they be relatively aware of the sales price unless there was a bidding war?

A Looker ?

Buyer wants something they can't afford. Either they don't know the market or they think they are the only buyer that will find a gem that fits their requirements and price range.-Kasey

the buyer is not familiar with the market.... needs to see some comps...

Reality has not set in yet about the price necessary to get what he wants!

Buyer needs to spend more time shopping online and comparing prices.

Not enought info to say.

Clueless?? 

Good luck with her.

Shoulda choulda woulda person who wants something but still not really to get real. 

Wait!

That perhaps they bare a strong resemblance to Bambi? LOL

Sometimes it does take a while for buyers to grasp the reality of pricing.

interesting  already sold
