The back and forth typically moves through your REALTOR, who presents each version in writing with a firm response deadline, often 24 to 48 hours, so neither side is left waiting indefinitely while other buyers may be circling.
Conditions travel with the counter-offer just like price does. A seller might counter to remove a financing condition, shorten an inspection period, or shift the possession date closer to their preferred moving window, and each of those is negotiated the same way a dollar figure is.
Joel Dyck manages that negotiation for Saskatoon sellers so the paperwork keeps pace with the conversation. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
