Real Estate Negotiations in 2026 (things have changed)

Welcome to Hidden Equity with Lauren House. I just got fired. I'm sharing the strategy that I suggested to the seller who fired my 16 hours later. My theory about real estate negotiations: Buyers are told by their real estate agent NOT to submit a low offer. A low offer is rude, offensive and could lead to no response at all. In some capacity that's true. But it's business and in order to get the best price as a buyer, you have to start low. In Scottsdale, AZ, there are more real estate agents who obtained their license between 2020-2026 than there are real estate agents who have had their license since before 2020. This supports my theory. Buyers are being advised differently today. Sellers, We have to adjust ourselves otherwise, we're wasting days on market. or you simply take the first offer and work with it. This information is what I'm currently seeing in the Phoenix, AZ market.
