Make Offer On Idaho Home (s)

A buyer should always be clear on how to make the best possible offer for a home. When a home is listed, attention is always drawn to the listing price and whether it matches comparable prices in the area. In other words a buyer makes a good offer to buy a home, matching the seller's list price isn't the only concern.

In many circumstances, terms of the offer can produce thousands in additional value for home buyers.  You should always carefully review these terms, as they are very important.  Check out some other shrewd items to consider when making an offer to buy a home.

How much should I offer on a home?

 For one thing, offering x percentage below asking price or less than what you're really willing to pay isn't always best.  In fact, your offer really should depend on the simple laws of supply and demand.  To clarify, when more then one party is making an offer, sellers likely will get full-price offers.  As a result potentially receiving offers above asking price!  In contrast if the demand in your area is low, offering below asking price could be a sharp move!  Contact us for more about specific local market trends or analysis.

The owner than decides to either reject the offer, accept it or possibly make a counter-offer.

In fact, counter-offers are common, any change to the contract is considered a counter.  It's important that buyers remain in contact with their Realtor during the negotiation process.  Just in case any proposed changes need to be reviewed quickly.

How many inspections should an offer include?

In general, a number of inspections are common in real estate transactions. They can include inspections for termites, radon gas, surveys of boundaries and structural inspection for common maintenance issues.  Of course, there are also appraisals to determine the home's value for lenders as well as title reviews.

Home inspections are especially important. During home inspections, a certified home inspector comes to the property to detect physical defects to the home.  In the event that any expensive repairs or replacements are required we can renegotiate purchase price and terms.  Home inspections for a single-family home will require two or three hours to complete and possibly 48 hours for a report.  Buyers are welcome to attend and
