The Bottom Line on Prices
In real estate, the word price can refer to the asking price, the bid price, the seller's absolute price, the buyer's absolute price, or the actual price at which a property is sold. The asking price is simply the price at which the seller lists the home for sale, but negotiations eventually lead to a buyer offering a bid price. Negotiations will continue as long as bids and counter offers fall between the buyer's absolute price and seller's absolute price. Eventually, the seller will agree on an actual sale price with a buyer.
