Smoove1, Home Buyer in Wisconsin

Where do I start with a cash offer on a $400K home?

Asked Mon May 18 2009, 08:19 by Smoove1  -  Home Buying in Madison  -  4 answers
Jenny Persha answered:
Hi Smoove1,

You want to look at all the homes in the area. Does the home compare with the price and condition of the other homes? Sometimes listing agents will take an overpriced listing, so in that case the listing price is not a good start for you. If you are intent on doing this without a buyers agent (why don't you want to be represented?), you need to view all the listed homes in the area and do a lot of digging to find what the market is dictating for a price. This market has been tough on sellers--which has made my buyers very happy with the prices.

Sincerely,

Stop the work you are doing. Get the insulation tested to see if it really is asbestos. Make your decisions once you have all the facts. - Sat Feb 28 2009, 08:57

If I were your Realtor, I would want you to have the preapproval before we started looking. I think it is wise to talk more than one lender-there are some great ones out there. - Mon Feb 23 2009, 08:43

Hi Bonnie! I am sure you have heard that real estate is local. Madison is a very different market from up north. Do you want me to put you in contact with somone from the Ashland area? - Wed Jul 2 2008, 07:59
