Yes, you absolutely may accept a lower offer: there is no law requiring you to take the highest offer or sell to the highest bidder, and often a lower dollar amount offer is the better one. We took the lesser of two offers when we sold our house, for example, because it had a larger deposit and the buyer had a more stable & lucrative job: we were worried that the higher offer was more likely to fail due to difficulties securing financing and wanted to avoid that potenital issue.A seller can generally take any offer he/she wants, for any reason, with one limitation: you cannot turn down an offer due to a prospective buyer's race, religion, national origin, or disability.
