It is basically a burned out shell at the moment, but the</title><link>http://www.trulia.com/voices/Home_Buying/I_want_to_make_an_offer_on_a_home_in_Brooklyn_It_-21602</link><description>owner seems convinced the lot is worth the same as comps in the area that are in move-in condition. I am a bulder, so I can construct a beautiful new structure on the lot. I'm just having trouble figuring out what the value of the land is by itself, so I can make a reasonable offer. Thanks.

Get recent home sales (3 mos) of comparable homes to what you are planning to build (use only new construction).  Subtract the cost of construction and then subtract what profit you would need to make in order to make the project worth it.&#13;
&#13;
The remaining balance is the max you can pay for a piece of land.  Make an offer leaving yourself a margin for negotiation.&#13;
&#13;
Put a deadline on your offer...offer good for 48 hours only to create some urgency.</description><pubDate>Fri, 08 Feb 2008 13:47:01 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>Answer by Scott Daniels</title><link>http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Cooper_City_FL-71926/</link><guid>http://www.trulia.com/voices/profile/Real_Estate_Pro-Cooper_City_FL-71926/</guid><description>The best answer is to make the offer based on the last closed sales and go from there. The seller can either counter or reject you`re offer.&#13;
The land should have an assesment on the tax roll have you checked there?</description><pubDate>Fri, 08 Feb 2008 13:35:54 -0800</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
