The house I have my eye on has an asking price with a range of 50k between highest and lowest amount.
I know very well that other houses in this region are selling pretty cheap, even though the agent of course says that the vendor will only consider offers near the top end of the range. I've had agents of other houses I've inspected 2 weeks ago call me back and practically drop 40k off the asking price to try to get us to buy.
This one is listed at 240k-290k - we want to spend about 265k max but prefer much less.
Would putting in an offer of 255k ruin my chances here? Why would they list at 240k if they wont consider that as an offer? I'd love to offer 240...
The house is on the central coast near Gorokan if that helps.
