It's the price. See how much pressure that seller is under — and what to offer instead.
Sellers now outnumber buyers by 63%, but the number on the listing is still the seller's wish. The Fair Offer Kit turns a listing's public numbers into your opening offer, your walk-away price and what to ask for on top.

How much pressure is this seller under? A 30-second check
Grab any listing you're watching. Its price history is public on the listing page.
Why now
- 63% more sellers than buyersin September — the widest gap in Redfin's records, which go back to 2013. Redfin, Oct 14, 2026
- More than 1 in 5 sellers cut their pricein the four weeks to September 20 (21.1% of sellers with active listings). Redfin, Sept 30, 2026
- 44.7% of sales came with a concession— money toward closing costs, repairs or a lower rate — in the three months to August 31. Redfin, Sept 18, 2026
None of that is printed on the listing. In this market the asking price is where the talk starts, and the buyer who brings the numbers sets its terms.
Same house, two opening offers
Offers the price on the sign. Asks for nothing else.
Opening offer:
Seller Pressure 72/100. Opens below the nearby sales, cites the 94 days and both cuts, and asks the seller to cover closing costs.
Opening offer:
The seller can say no. The Kit shows you where to start and why — never what a seller will accept. Illustration only; the score uses the same rules as the check above.
What you get
- Overpay Check — the asking price against the nearby sales, what the home last sold for, and the monthly payment it really means at today's rates.
- Seller Pressure Score (0–100) — days on the market, price cuts, when and for how much they bought. Flips, peak-year buyers and stale listings get flagged.
- Your three numbers — an opening offer, a target price and a walk-away price.
- Price cut or rate buydown? A calculator for which one lowers your monthly payment more, with the quote your lender gives you.
- Hidden repair checklist — roof, heating and cooling, water heater, electrical panel and the red flags of a quick flip, before you make an offer.
- 7 copy-paste templates — the offer email, a low offer backed by the numbers, a concession request, replies to a counteroffer, and a repair-credit request after the inspection.
- Down-payment help finder — where your state's housing finance agency lists its buyer programs.
One payment. No subscription. Nothing is charged today.

Questions people ask
Can't my agent do this?
A good agent can, and the Kit works with one. It puts the numbers in your own hands, so you can check the advice you get and ask for what the market allows.
Where do the numbers come from?
From the listing itself: you copy in its price history and three nearby sales. We show you where to find each one. Nothing is pulled from Zillow or Redfin behind your back.
Is this an appraisal?
No. It's a calculator with rules you can see. It isn't real estate, legal or financial advice, and it can't tell you what a seller will accept.
I'm not buying yet. Is it for me?
Yes, if you plan to. It's a one-time payment, and you can run it on every home you look at, now or later.
