If you really want to buy now. I would determine today’s market value of the property(s) you want and then low ball them 15% to 20%, promising to close by the end of the year. You might get lucky and find someone that has to sell now and thinks your offer is as good as it is going to get. I figure 10% of the sellers out there are just as convinced as we are that the market is heading lower and there will be no spring rebound next year.
PS The market value is not what they are listing the property for and it is probably not 3 plus month old comps.
