It is not unusual to get $20,000-$30,000 + less than what you’re asking for–hence, the term “lowball offers.” But notice was said ” 80% of homes sold”, the other 20% are the ones that are in the first time home buyer range–$150,000-$200,000.

If you find a house that you really like in this price range, it may not be a good idea to make an offer below the asking price. Buyers are actually competing for these homes even in this down market

Demand–$150,000-$200,000: VERY GOOD

In Making Offers To The Sellers

Search for all sales that closed (one year’s worth), pending and currently for sale (any agent can do this for you), try to get as close of a match as possible (location, bedrooms, baths etc).

Note: due to the falling real estate prices, your offer for the seller will most likely be lower than the comparables from a year ago (not necessarily applicable for under $200,000 home prices)

How Much Should you offer? Sellers by nature “test” the waters. They tend to initially ask for more than what they are willing to take for their prized homes. Here’s where research can really help. Take for example:

Demand for $400,000-$500,000 Homes in Reno: NOT SO GOOD

In this kind of market,  the buyers are not that many. So take your time and feel free to make low ball offers if necessary.

In summary as you can see doing a little bit of research can help you a lot. Research will guide you in what kind of offers to make, whether lowball or possibly highball (in the case of the $200,000 and below range). The most important thing to remember is to know what you really want for a house and at what price range, and stick to it.

If you are looking for $300,000 and above it may be wise to be patient by not being attached to the homes that you are making an offer to. There are many great homes out there waiting for you.
