A better offer is one a buyer understands
Price matters, but so do possession, deposit, conditions and the confidence behind the proposal. A buyer who has completed meaningful preparation can be more decisive without treating every property as a reason to abandon the checks that matter to their situation.
Conditions should match the uncertainty
Financing, inspection, document review and other conditions are not interchangeable. The useful question is what remains unknown about this specific home and whether the buyer has enough information to manage that uncertainty before making an irreversible commitment.
