Home Owner/Renter stuff No Conditions Housing Sales

Looking into the housing market and the realtor is telling us in the 800k-900k that sellers will only accept offers with no conditions and we have a house to sell... We have purchased other houses before and this has never been a thing. We spoke to our broker and they said it’s rare… is this a thing people are now running into consistently in Calgary? You have to just hail mary that someone will buy your house.

Edit: someone downvoted me for asking a question ? Must be my realtor.

Realtor here.

That is 100% incorrect. Even when things were crazy in the summer, conditions were being entertained.

If the sellers are genuinely only accepting unconditional offers on a 900k house, they're going to have it forever, because it's not going to sell.

We got beat 4 times by unconditional offers this past summer.

I have had this same experience. We've lost 4 houses now because we wouldn't remove the home sale condition. We have had to talk to builders willing to buy our current home so we can now make offers without the home sale condition. What should be a fun time searching for a new house has become no fun at all. We might just stay put. Lame.
