Default Re: Lowball Offer on House

Update:

My agent called me a few minutes ago and asked if we had decided anything. I explained that the roof is point of contention (perhaps for buyer and seller). I said counter at $250,000 plus roof of my choosing up to $10,000. He said okay. He calls me back 5 minutes later with an insta-counter.

Seller: $259,500, no roof

I feel like I am getting outplayed after the flop. My original upper ceiling was $250,000 without roof. Now I am at that number. It seems weird to counter at a number lower than my previous offer (e.g. $245,000 without roof). Not sure what my play is here. I really would like to get the roof put on as part of the deal. But all along I was willing to stretch my upper ceiling without a roof to $255,000.
