I was confused too, but I see in one of your comments that the offer was $54,321. Your buyer must have been playful, glad the seller thought it was fun too and accepted it. Congratulations to you all! Gotta have fun in this business every once in a while, right? I can't think of any fun or unique prices like this that I have been a part of. -Kasey

For kicks I frequently write in my offer line that we need response by "High Noon". That gets noticed and a chuckle. Does that count?

No, I've never received or made an offer like that. There was an agent once though who always listed homes with a palindromic number. I'm not sure why - she was in another company and I was tempted to call her up and ask. For example $231,132. All of her listing had very long DOM though so I suspect that wasn't a successful strategy.

I do not remember any special numbers. I had an offer recently on a 600k house: $560,369. We did not even counter it, but certainly an agent or a buyer has a special understanding of numerology, though, it did not work.
Congrats on the accepted offer, what was the listing price? 550k?
I personally do not understand price number with the the same digits, like 299,999,999 or 888,888.

Still have "some hair" I think I get it...
The counter offer was accepted with the comment or subject of the replay "BLAST OFF" as in we are ... A go and underway?
So maybe it is a hair thing to understand ;) Candice A. Donofrio Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®,CRS, or maybe I am just in the dark as well ;)

Bruce - Didn't know what you meant until I read some of the other agents comments. I have never had a blast off offer, but have had some people either list with a certain price, or offer a certain amount based on their beliefs, and how that number would help them.

I'll have to play the "going bald and grey" card along with the "not enough coffee" card. Read through the other answers, yeah you can't even get a half-way decent car for that out here. Maybe if it was $654,321...

It makes perfect sense .... 5-4-3-2-1 blastoff!!!! Now I have coffee shooting out my nose. Thanks a lot!

Early in my career, I had clients write a counter offer with an unusual amount(sorry I don't recall the actual number) and I presented the counter in person to the owner and agent in person(it was a long time ago when such things happened). It caught them both by surprise and it was signed on the spot.
Congratulations to you and your clients.
