The right offer starts with the home, not a standard discount. We can help you weigh its asking price against similar sales while keeping your own spending limit firmly in view.
The latest market report includes Sanford single-family homes, condos, townhomes and apartments. Homes sold for an average of 98.3% of their asking prices. The typical sale price was $299,995. The average percentage of asking price that homes sold for does not establish the appropriate offer for an individual home.
Applying a townwide percentage automatically would skip the differences that matter to your particular purchase. We would consider condition, relevant completed sales and the terms you need before discussing a reasonable offer range. An offer price must also leave you comfortable with the financing and property responsibilities you would accept.
Review recent sales of similar homes with us and identify meaningful differences before choosing your proposed price. Ask your lender to confirm the payment and money needed at closing for the amount you are considering. Decide which financing and inspection requirements belong in your offer before responding to pressure to increase it.
