Kandi,

If you base your offer on sound facts based on recent real estate sales, there should be no concern about offending any seller.

Good luck

Kandi,

Your question is the most complex question a buyer can ask! There is not short answer. That is why I have posted the link above for you. It is the answer to your question in a blog post I wrote not too long ago. I hope this helps you!

That depends....have your Realtor research several things...how long has this home been on the market, has the price been reduced and if so, how many times has the price been reduced, what is the motivation of the Seller, what prices have comparable homes been selling for in the last 60 days. Your Realtor should be able to guide you in regards of a full priced offer if the home is priced right or an offer based on the research done on the home.
