[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's nothing wrong with making the strength of your offer correspond to how much you like the house. Love it and can't bear to lose it = high price, just like it = offer less. You may be less likely to have your offer accepted, but it's amazing how much more perfect a home will seam if you paid a reasonable price.[/quote] I agree with this. When we went to the open house for our current home we said "this is the one" partly because at list price we loved it. We told the agent if there was a bidding war and it went up 5% we'd like it, and if it went up 10% we wouldn't want it. Ended up a little over 5%-- right at the border of where we were comfortable, but we're glad we got it. On the other hand, a difference of a few thousand isn't that much in a 30 year mortgage so don't let that drive your decision making.[/quote]
