Should my walk-away number change over time?

Yes - your walk-away threshold must decline as carrying costs accumulate and market conditions evolve. A seller who holds at $1.5M for six months at $5,000/month in carrying costs nets $30,000 less than accepting $1.5M on day one. Recalculate monthly by subtracting accumulated carrying costs and adjusting for the diminishing probability of a higher offer as days on market increase.
