HI Chris:) I just negotiated 67k off list price on brand new construction for my buyers. Call 760 622 6855 or email maureen@landangel.com for my professional buyers agent representation to assist you with your values and more...

Hi Chris,

I can see why you like this. It's a larger new(er) construction house with no previous owners. Most of the units in this complex are still in the developer's name, so I'd offer less to start. The HOA fees are low enough, but be sure the common areas are important enough to you if you're going to help pay the maintenance fees for the long term.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Regards,
Cory

Hi Chris,
I think we addressed this question of a condo versus a detached home in another post by you.

Regarding a "good buy" or not, it is all depending on how you define that. If you are not already working with a real estate agent, feel free to contact me and we can discuss local values in this area.

Thanks!

It all depends on the comps. What has your agent shown you? You need to know the absorption rate in the immediate area. You should ask whether it is trending lower or higher. You should also inquire as to how many other units are for sale in the community. You should know if investors are flipping in that complex. You should know whether most of the inventory is distressed. You should find out whether closing costs are typical for the immediate comps. Find out how many comps are pending and what the variance in price is from the recent sales. You need to find out the motivation of the seller. You need to have all this information and then you will know if you are offering the right price. But really this is what a good agent would be doing for you.

Chris.
This is a question you need to ask your Realtor. They can run comparable sales in the area and help you structure and negotiate your offer.
I would be glad to meet with you and discuss your situation.

It's actually a detached condo. Why not go for a SFR and save on HOA fees?

It looks like a SFR
I think it seems like a good price but I would try to negotiate a lower price too!
