Well, as is typical in such market conditions, we find that Buyers tend to drag their feet. They become increasingly more bold and brazen.

As a Buyer, how can you increase the chances of having greater success in submitting a lower offer? What is the Secret to Offering Less?

I'm in the midst of writing an offer now that is going to come in low. We are sending a letter to the seller with the offer. The letter is hand written by the buyer telling the seller how much they are going to love and appreciate the house, how they have a connection to the community and how they have already mentally moved into the sellers house. Wish us luck! I've done this before and it worked.
