Remember that the decision is YOURS.   Our role is to advise you based on what is happening in the Real Estate market.    Each home is unique in how to approach an offer.   Some homes are over-priced and the owner wants to negotiate, others are firm and will laugh at any offer other than full price.

Factors that affect your offer price

Market Conditions

Is this a buyers or a sellers market?   How are the homes selling in this community?    Are they selling in a matter of days and with multiple offers?   Is the community days on the market longer than 100 days?  Depending on the type of market you may be able to offer lower than the asking price and still feel the offer will be taken seriously.   If there are multiple offers on the table, you will have to step up to the plate or your offer won't be considered.
