Hi Amanda,
A good agent will be willing to start advising you early and should be happy for the opportunity to start acclimating you to the area. I am in Lexington, with over 7 years of real estate experience in the town, plus 15 + living here. I have kids in the excellent school system. I have worked with some relocating buyers for 2 years in some cases. Feel free to call or email me. I also have many sales and listings in Arlington and know it well. - Thu Jul 10 2008, 19:47
Hi D.
As you can see, there are many variables that affect the offer strategy. Realtors are privy to the incremental price changes and possible motivations behind them, especially if they are local full-time agents in the same town. Last I checked, most sales were within 95% or better of their original asking price (not dropped prices) in Lexington (where I am based). It is especially true in such hot price ranges as $650-800k.
Good luck -- Bill - Thu Jul 10 2008, 19:34
