Offering Price
What you offer on an Orlando area home depends on many factors.
- Offer above or below the asking price?
- What concessions do you need or want,
- what closing arrangements are to be made, to name just a few.
You really have to ask yourself how much do you really want the house? If you really want the home, you may want to make an offer equal to or greater than the asking price. This is where we come into the picture to assist you. We will have the information that you will need to make a final decision.

Market Conditions
Is it a buyers or a sellers market? How fast or slow are homes selling? Depending on answers, you can offer lower than the asking price, or if there are multiple offers, you will have to make your best offer count because you might not get a chance to make a counter offer. We will compare the most recent sold homes to that of similar homes in the area to see if the asking price is appropriate for the market.
Does Your Offer Fit Your Finances? Does this home fall within your pre-qualification? Can you make the monthly payments, save money for your long-term goals (college/retirement), as well as cope with unexpected expenses? Qualifying and affording may be two different amounts. Your qualifying amount may be well above what you are truly comfortable with, thus you should stay within your comfort zone.
Each home is different, each situation presents unique circumstances that will affect what you offer on an Orlando home. It is important that you work with a professional that can help you put together a strong offer that will be accepted and then appraise and you will be able to close.
