Depends on the house and location. My house bought this year I got for 30k under value. Two neighborhoods over they are selling at or over.

I bought my first house in Lee's Summit back in 96 for about 75K which was right before Lee's Summit really started booming and became Missouri's version of Overland Park. |

Them: "Where did that random $5,000 come from?????" Me: "Isn't that a good thing, not a bad thing?" Them: "Why is there more than one request for credit in the last month?" Me: "Because I'm a smart shopper and don't go to 1 mortgage company and say okie dokie" Them: "Nooo that is blah blah" I almost don't ever want to buy a new house now. I'm sure I will in 5ish years but I would like to avoid any crazy lenders. |

I put in a low-ball offer on a house I liked and they took it. $26,000 minus $2,600 first time home owner Obama bucks. No more $1,000 rent. I am loving life. |

So I recently sold my primary house to someone who came to the door and paid my asking price (it wasn't listed).
I figure I'll go pay cash and quickly get into a slightly smaller joint now that it is just me and the wife. First house I like I schedule an afternoon showing so the wife can see it. It sells for full price before she gets there. Next house looks like a winner but the inspections show it is rotting from the inside-out and riddled with termites. So that's a pass (also explains why it has sold and unsold three times prior to me). The next house is much like the first, although I get smart this time and offer $50K over the asking price. Someone else offered 100K over and got it. So now I've got a bid on a place we both love. We come to find out that it is owned by a celebrity who practices Kabballah and she can't look at the contract until after Shabbat this weekend. Again, we offered a little under full, someone else offered full price, and now it is a bidding war. So that's the market in S. California at the moment... |
