Your offer should fit the home and your finances, not simply follow an asking price. I want you to understand the reasoning before committing to a number.
The latest market report covers single-family homes, condos, townhouses and apartments in Miramar. The typical sale price was $530,000. Homes sold for an average of 98.2% of their asking prices. That average percentage of asking price that homes sold for does not establish a discount for any particular home.
I would use those townwide figures as background, then focus on recent sales of homes resembling the property you want. Size, condition and features deserve attention before you decide whether an asking price is reasonable. A sensible offer also needs financing and inspection requirements that match the risks you are prepared to accept.
Choose recent sales of similar homes for us to review, noting differences that could affect your proposed price. Confirm the money needed at closing with your lender and write down the maximum price you are comfortable offering. Decide which financing and inspection protections you need before discussing changes to the offer conditions.
