I would strongly advise you to stop using manipulative, brainwashing, real-estate terms such as "buyer's market".....think about it, there is no such thing as a buyer's market, ever! How can there be buyers if there are no sellers - i.e. buyers market always equals sellers market. Real estate greedy geniuses, that frequent this site a lot - you know the ones partially responsible for what's happening today - use such terms to masterfully trick people into buying when really they shouldn't.
I would agree with someone here who said to lowball at least 25% - that's the only way you can get your best shot. Also, don't get temped - there are now more houses than ever for sale - and it will take awhile for them to get sold!
