Your offer should start with affordability and similar sales, not the asking price alone. I'll help you separate those decisions so you can move forward with a clear limit.
For Perris single-family homes, condos, townhouses and apartments, the latest market report gives a typical sale price of $553,000. The typical asking price among homes listed for sale was $600,000. Homes sold for an average of 99.4% of their asking prices. Asking prices and sale prices describe listed and sold groups, so these figures do not establish a negotiated discount.
I would use these townwide figures for context, then focus your offer on recent sales of genuinely similar homes. The average percentage of asking price that homes sold for cannot set your personal offer limit. A home can suit your search yet still require more money than you are comfortable committing.
Confirm the payment and money needed at closing with your lender before choosing the maximum price you are comfortable offering. Review differences in size, condition and features with me to establish a reasonable offer range. Decide which financing and inspection requirements your offer needs before discussing changes to those protections.
