Going to an open house again after rejected offer?

My gut feeling is don't go back. If you want to buy the apartment then make them an offer they accept. Otherwise walk away.

Sounds kind of stalker-ish.

Speaking of which............................................ LOL

Why didn't you make a counter-offer?

If your offer was rejected because of price, I think it's unlike that showing up and being cute is going to change the seller's mind. But if it was rejected because the seller thinks you are a borderline co-op candidate, then I think that the display of enthusiasm and commitment would be in your favor. If you have the time, do it.

Make sure you leave a pet rabbit boiling on the stove when you are finished.

I'd show up and leave a smelly fish in a cabinet - and perhaps a present in the bathroom as well - to scare off other bidders.

"If I ask a girl out and she says no, would it help if I hang around her locker when she is talking to other potential suitors?"

Yes of course, but only if you have more money to offer. Pull the Agent aside and tell her you've been thinking it over, you would like to discuss this some more.

You might also just keep an eye on the place, if it's a new listing. If you offered what the place is actually worth (and as already stated, money was the only sticking point) then possibly the sellers will come around.

Remember that the winning bidder for an apartment is always, by definition, someone who is "overpaying" in the sense that they are willing to pay a higher price than all the other bidders, whose collective opinions might be said to describe the market.
