Definition: An offer for substantially less than the seller is asking. That amount can vary depending on the marketplace. Generally speaking, a low-ball is 10% or more below list price and involves some sort of strategic negotiations.

Examples: Sometimes buyers who can't afford to pay market value make a lot of low-ball offers and end up buying nothing.
