Can a seller raise the asking price during negotiations?

Yes, a seller can raise (or lower) the asking price during negotiations. That’s because the asking price is simply an invitation to make an offer—it’s not a fixed commitment. Throughout the negotiation process, both buyer and seller can go back and forth with offers, but this isn’t always required. The selling agent may also choose a different negotiation strategy altogether.

A deal is only made once the seller accepts an offer. If the seller makes a counteroffer, the buyer can accept it to finalize the purchase. However, if the buyer responds with a new offer, the seller’s previous counteroffer expires. This means that even as both parties move closer to an agreement, either side can still change their position.

Negotiations can become complex quickly, so it’s wise to have an experienced buying agent in Amsterdam to guide you through the process.
