Everything is negotiable. (Except new builds) I just closed on a house in March. I made an offer 4k less than the asking price and to include the furniture.This house didnt hit the listing yet with TV. My realtor called me as soon as she saw it. I didnt want to risk losing this particular house so I didnt go any lower. Some houses go so quick. some not. If you have a good realtor, they will advice you correctly. Give Gail Evans a call. Shes marvelous 352-874-1504.

They are for sure. We just bought ours for 10k under asking. Many new homes available, so they have to entice you somehow!

Developer controls the new home price, but that doesn't mean that the develop doesn't drop prices. I have mentioned before on here that the developer in Marsh Bend has dropped a new home price $75K from the initial listing, and it still hasn't sold. For a new home for sale by the developer, you have to work with a developer sales rep, not a real estate agent, to get that price and to be in line properly when the price is dropped to your price.

Short Sale?
We found a house up on the north side that is gorgeous inside and out. A lot of money was put into this house and it shows. It has been listed on MLS for almost a full year. It is a short sale with a bank approved sale price. Does that mean there are no negotiations allowed? No reason is given for the short sale: divorce, death, etc.

absolutely they are. There's info out there that pre-owned sell at about 95% of asking price, so you've a bit of wiggle room, depending on the property and the owner.

The listing prices IS the lower price from what I can tell.

A short sale just means that the bank is involved in the sale because the house is being sold for a price that is lower than the owner owes on the mortgage. But, you can make an offer on the house for whatever you think it is worth to you. I would just make an offer and see what happens.

The easiest way to find out is to make your offer for the house and specify it will expire in three days. In three days you will have your answer. |

I was going over the changes in their asking price. High was $236k, low was 211.9k. Now asking $218k. The low was last fall with a pending offer that apparently fell through. That’s when they raised the price to the current one. We are planning a trip down next month. Hope to find out more about the situation.

Not that I claim to be an expert but I have gone through this a few times and bought REOs as well. Some have taken six to nine months to obtain a purchase agreement accepted by all parties concerned. In negotiations it is of course usually better to get the other side to name a price first. We all know that.
