Use speed and tight supply to hold your ground
You're deciding how firm to be when an offer comes in, especially if it asks for concessions. My answer when supply is tight and homes move fast, you can negotiate from a stronger position. Looking at recent numbers in Campbell County, VA, supply was two point one two months last month.
One number to respect from recent closed results is supply it measured two point one two months last month in Campbell County, VA. Buyers paid about 99% of asking, and a typical sale took twenty-one days. That matters because low supply usually creates more competition for the best-presented listings. Some metrics were not reported for this period. Even with that limitation, a tight supply figure paired with near-asking outcomes supports a more confident negotiation posture when your home is priced and presented correctly. Hold your line on what matters. Price and present the home so you earn the right to say no to unreasonable asks, and be quick and professional in your counteroffers so you keep momentum inside the typical twenty-one day pace. If you do choose to give something, trade it for something timeline, certainty, or cleaner terms, not just a lower net.
