Appreciation post: I offered $15k under asking on a house in Phoenix and the seller accepted it.

Everyone told me to never lowball in a hot market, but I wrote a personal letter explaining my situation as a teacher, and it worked.

Personal letters are so clutch, @noahchen, mine worked too.

Love that the personal letter made the difference. People forget there's a human on the other side of these deals. Congrats on getting into a home, especially as a teacher. That's a huge win.

Respect the bold move, especially in this market where it feels like everything is stacked against buyers. 15k under asking with a personal letter shows you played it smart, not desperate. Glad it worked out for a teacher, you folks deserve a break.
