Once you've found a home, you're interested in purchasing, the next step is putting an offer on the table. How do you determine that right price for a home in [Profile.market5]? In this article, I'll show you exactly what you should consider, when you're picking a number for your offer.

Tip 1.  Understand the [Profile.market5] Real Estate Conditions

The first step is to consider what the market conditions are. Real estate conditions in [Profile.market5] have had both upswings, and downswings, in the last several years. Is it a buyer's market, right now, or a seller's market? Is a house likely to sit on the market for weeks, or is it likely to receive multiple offers?

Look into what other similar houses in the area are selling for, both currently, and in the last few months. This will give you a good baseline value to base your offer of.

Tip 2. Understand Your Seller's Mindset

The goal of making an offer isn't to offer market price. The goal of your offer is to make an offer that's as low, as possible, that will be accepted by the seller.

In order to achieve this, it's important to understand the mindset of the seller.

One thing to look into might be how long the house has been listed. If it's been listed for several months already, they may be more likely to want to sell for a lower price.

Another thing to look into is how much the seller paid for the property. Although this doesn't affect its current value, it has an impact on the seller's mentality. If the seller is already making a profit, no matter how much they sell it for, they're likely to be more lenient. If they're losing big money, by selling right now, they may be more likely to pinch pennies.

Tip 3. It's Not Just the Numbers

Your offer must be considered in its entirety. The clauses, and contingencies, have a big impact on whether, or not, your offer will be accepted. Work with your real estate agent to craft the best offer possible.
