Re: How much below asking price
the asking price was 469K and i asked 415K. we ended up in the middle. always start low...and make sure your broker knows to come back with a counter and not a no.

Re: How much below asking price
We offered 10% below asking price and settled at 6% below asking price.
There are no rules. I would look at how the house is priced compared to other homes in the neighborhood and what other homes are selling for, as well as the condition of the house and the position of the sellers. In our case, the sellers had already moved out and wanted a quick sale.
Good luck

Re: How much below asking price
We offered 4% below asking, but it was already priced very low and it was a foreclosure so we wanted to make a strong offer to the bank.

Re: How much below asking price
it all depends on what you are willing to pay for the house. we bid the asking price b/c we felt it was priced right and got it. A few days later they got a higher offer but still honored ours

Re: How much below asking price
We offered 35k below asking price, and settled at 25k below asking price.
Now - due to major problems from the homeowner, we may end up getting it for our original asking price, or even 5k lower than that!
