Need GreenScreen advice

Long story short, wife and i found 3 acres here in Kerr county we really like. Problem is I really feel it is priced almost $20k more than it should be. Is it a straight insult to make an offer $20k under asking price?

I have looked a lot at land here and the prices are all over the spectrum. I feel my offer would be very accurate and generous for this size lot.

IMO - It doesn't really matter if it's an insult. It's a business transaction. Offer whatever you feel good about. If the offer is accepted, great. If not, oh well...

This. Offer what you feel the value is.

Won't hurt to try. What does your realtor think?

You never know what they'll say. I embarrassed the hell out of my wife by "insulting" a salesman when buying a 4 wheeler. Walked out paying 60% of their asking price. You just never know.

We meet with our realtor later this week and we will talk to her about it more. So i am not sure of the realtors opinion yet but she is vary familiar with that area so i will trust what she says.

She should be able to give you comps of comparable pieces of land.

Heard a real estate investor once say...if you aren't embarrassed of your offer than it was too high.

Well sir, then if and when we decide to formally make an offer, consider me embarrassed!

I offered about half of what the seller was asking and ended up at around 60-65%


Seller did not respond for 2 days and I figured I had hurt their feelings bad and that I would not hear a reply

Was your offer cash? Wish we had just a little more cash saved up to make the first offer an all cash offer. Such is life. We would still be bringing well over 50% of our offer in cash.
