The subject on "writing a low ball offer" in a buyer's market is aptly described in a blog post by Vancouver's Realtors Rob Chipman and Aaron Best. 

"Lowball opportunities are now available, and their numbers will only increase in the coming months".

"Lowballs are a funny subject. They’re easy to talk about, but tough to pull off.  In the first place they take a certain amount of nerve.  In the second place, they’re a tougher offer to close than a non-lowball. There’s no reason why a buyer shouldn’t consider lowballing, however.   Its not a tactic for everyone, and it involves lots of hard work and learning, but it can pay off handsomely".
