Once you've found a home you're interested in purchasing, the next step is putting an offer on the table. How do you determine that right price for a home in ? In this article, I'll show you exactly what you should consider when you're picking a number for your offer.

Tip 1 Understand the Real Estate Conditions

The first step is to consider what are the market conditions, Real estate conditions in   It is a buyer's market right now, so it is important to  find out how many moths of inventory are today in your community/zip code in Boca Raton.  Is a house likely to sit on the market for months?

Look into what other similar houses in the area are selling for, both currently and in the last 6 months. This will give you a good baseline value to base your offer of. Look also at current inventory

Tip 2 Understand Your Sellers Mindset

The goal of making an offer isnít to offer market price. The goal of your offer is to make an offer that ís as low as possible that will be accepted by the seller.

In order to achieve this, itís important to understand the mindset of the seller.

One thing to look into might be how long the house has been listed. If itís been listed for several months already, they may be more likely to want to sell for a lower price.

Another thing to look into is how much the seller paid for the property. Although this doesnít affect its current value, it has an impact on the sellerís mentality. If the seller is already making a profit no matter how much they sell it for, theyíre likely to be more lenient. If theyíre losing big money by selling right now, they may be more likely to pinch pennies.

Tip 3  Not Just the Numbers

Your offer must be considered in its entirety. The clauses and contingencies have a big impact on whether or not your offer will be accepted. Work with your real estate agent to craft the best offer possible.
