Low Ball Offer
An offer from a prospective property buyer that is much lower than the listing price which may indicate that the buyer believes that the property will not receive many good offers and that the buyer is interested in the property only if it can be purchased at a bargain price. Example: Although the house was listed at $180,000, Lowry made a low-ball offer of $120,000. The seller was at first insulted by the low offer, yet eventually agreed to sell the home to Lowry for $150,000.
