[quote=Geedup]I just thought I would ask the seller for the asking price before it went on the market at 5% selling commission and before any repairs including Termite section 1 were completed.[/quote]
There nothing wrong asking but
If the market is hot, perhaps the seller might try selling “as is”, start with a lower number, get multiple offers into a bidding war and let people’s emotions take over. Kind of like the way eBay works.
Especially, if the seller finds a buyer out of state itching to buy in a hurry. I’ve tracked a few purchases that closed recently and it seems like the out of the state buyers tend to overpay in order to close.
Well I guess that’s how it works in the bay area.
If this sounds horrible, its not. Because if this was a buyers market, buyers would be doing the exact opposite to try to get the lowest price possible.
