Every week I make a lot of offers on a lot of houses.  I end up getting many of them accepted.  Often times people ask me to explain how I come up with what price to offer.  I know that what they really mean is, why is my offer so low?

First it is important to understand a net offer as opposed to a gross offer. Many times a homeowner will hear that their neighbor’s house sold for a certain price.  Let’s just say $100,000.  But what they don’t realize is that their neighbor actually walked away with much less.  They had to pay 6% to their Realtor, 2% for their own closing costs, 3% in buyer closing costs, and they had to make repairs that added up to $3,000.  So they actually netted $86,000.  Since I pay all of the closing costs and don’t require any repairs to be made my offers are net offers.

Second it is important to understand the difference between the list price and the sales price.  Often times a Realtor will advise someone to list their house for entirely too much money.  Let’s use the neighbor for example.  A Realtor may have advised them to list their house for $115,000.  Three or four months later the homeowner realizes that they have over-priced their house and lowers it to $105,000.  Now it is priced correctly.  But the national average for negotiating is about 5%.  So it ends up selling for about $100,000 and they walk away with around $86,000.  Big difference!

Right now it is 6 degrees in Amarillo TX and the wind is gusting up to 50 mph.  It’s very cold.  The snow is blowing sideways and visibility is not very good.   But the good news is that I just bought a house!  I just left a house that had frozen pipes.  A line burst in the attic and flooded the house.  It was a disaster.  The lady who sold me the house called Serve Pro and they told her that it would cost about $4,000 to get the house cleaned up.  I can get it done for much less.  So it made a lot of sense for her to sell the house to me.  Instead of worrying about the clean up she will be cashing a check in about 3 days.
