The first thing you need to understand is don't mistake a homeowner or their agent
being polite as them wanting you to get the best deal. Never tell the seller or their agent why you
need to buy or if you like their home because
they’ll use this information against you to get a
higher price. That's why it's so important when looking at the home and when making the offer to direct
all your communication through your Real Estate Agent.
When you sit down at your Real Estate Agents office to make an offer you want to take these items
into consideration when determining your offer amount:
1. Take a look at the other active listings in the area and see if the
home you want comparable?
2. The average selling price compared to
the listing price of homes that have sold.
3. A visit to other homes for sale in the area.
How do they compare with your choice?
4. The average market times for homes in the
area. If they’re long, you may have more
negotiating room.
Always remember if a house is turnkey, meaning you can just move in, and it has been upgraded, it typically
will attract higher offers. If a home is in an ideal location and is priced under market, you can expect
to have multiple offers on the house so we advise you want to put your best foot forward based on what you
feel comfortable with but be aggressive because you might get a second chance if the property is HOT!
Thank you and I look forward to talking to you soon,
