Start with similar completed sales and your budget, rather than automatically offering below asking. I want your offer to reflect both the home's characteristics and your financial boundaries.

The latest market report covers Phoenix single-family homes, condos, townhouses and apartments. Within that scope, the typical sale price was $450,000. Homes sold for an average of 97.84% of their asking prices. The number of homes sold in the latest market report was 925.

The average percentage of asking price that homes sold for is context, not a prescribed discount for your offer. I would give greater weight to recent sales of similar homes and differences in condition, size and features. A lower offer price deserves consideration alongside the financing and inspection protections you need, rather than replacing them.

Review recent sales of similar homes with me to develop a reasonable offer range for the property you choose. Write down the maximum price you are comfortable offering before negotiations begin, leaving room for expenses beyond the purchase price. Confirm financing requirements with your lender and identify inspection requirements before deciding which conditions belong in the offer.
