How Much Should You Offer for Your Dream House in Lake City?

If you’re buying a home for sale in Lake City, you might not be sure about what to offer for the house of your dreams – but don’t worry, we have you covered.

Your Lake City Realtor® can help you determine the right price to offer on a home by evaluating similar listings that have recently sold, and by checking out your budget and other homes you’re interested in. Remember, too, that the seller is always able to negotiate with you after you’ve made an offer. In fact, the seller can make a counteroffer, and then you can make another offer – and you can go back and forth until you’ve reached an agreement or determined that there’s no way you’re going to see eye-to-eye.

Should You Lowball a Seller?

Lowballing – the act of offering a very low amount (often less than the home is worth) – usually isn’t a good idea. It’s a particularly bad idea if you’re in a seller’s market, where there are more buyers than there are homes.

Even if it’s not a seller’s market, you could offend the seller – and the seller could decide not to negotiate with you at all by rejecting your offer.
