We hope to hear from you soon. My wife and I voted for sincerity. As it happens we live in a community where homes typically have five, six, and seven bedrooms. The homes are nicely designed and finished, but as people get older they tend to prefer houses with fewer stairs or no stairs. Another option is to sell.
More buyers likely mean additional demand and thus higher prices.
But then one has to look at the content of each offer. If the price and terms are right, a motivated buyer in hand is hard to ignore. From the outside it looks like a house with no signs or modifications, a perfect fit for the neighborhood. Rent the property to a charity that operates group homes. More wear and tear, but a higher monthly revenue.
