L Leegirl 4th Sep, 2009 #1 All, If a property is marketed for a fixed price, say $500k, is it better to offer something a bit lower and negotiate your way up? Someone advised me that I should start lower and work up...but is this a sensible thing to do? Any help would be appreciated. Lee

P Property Meister 4th Sep, 2009 #2 it shopuldn't matter whether its got a fixed price, or price+, or a price range, or a buyer enquiry range, or a "offers only above considered" you need to offer up to what you feel its worth, you can start lower but that may not always work, you might get shut out completely if they feel your offer is way too low.

The Y-man 4th Sep, 2009 #3 Ask the agent what the sellers are looking for. They might just let out some info they shouldn't. Otherwise start at 20% below and work from there (have reasons at hnad - this broken, that needs fixing, location, weather, anything) The Y-man
