Ya, not sure how offering less than listed price is "insulting". Unless it's a seller's market (low inventory with high demand like in 2020) it is typical to offer less than list, sometimes way less as rsmurano pointed out. The current climate is a buyer's market (high inventory with lower demand) so offering less than list is the way to go. IMHO
