Suppose someone bought a house in 2004 for $520,000 and gut renovated it (? $150-$200K in work). If they are desperate to sell now, how low do you think they'd go? its a swanky area,... (more)
but a small house.

- ask them not us 8-24-2008 8:16pm
- just saw the house today. was thinking of low balling an offer and just found out how cheap the owners got it. 8-24-2008 8:17pm
- what are they asking? 8-24-2008 8:18pm
- $1.16 -- the house is mint, but very small. 8-24-2008 8:20pm
- They're fucking insane. 8-24-2008 8:20pm
- OK< CASE IN POINT LADIES....Clearly still much higher than 2004 levels, MUCH! 8-24-2008 8:20pm
- Asking ain't getting idiot. 8-24-2008 8:20pm
- oh, I understand that very well....but putting a house for sale also does not mean you will sell it to any one who comes a long 8-24-2008 8:21pm
- It's always your choice whether to sell or not. But you are an idiot if you consider asking prices - all that matters is selling prices. 8-24-2008 8:22pm
- I guarantee they wont take less than 800K or so. 8-24-2008 8:22pm
- Then they won't sell. And again, selling prices are below 2004 levels. 8-24-2008 8:23pm
- not on this house 8-24-2008 8:24pm
- Has this house sold? 8-24-2008 8:24pm
- well, we shall see, op is going to offer 900 dumbass 8-24-2008 8:25pm
- You must be a seller or a broker. You are such a moron. 8-24-2008 8:25pm
- Im so dumb? I am neither of what you mentioned. Op is offering 900K.....sorry hon,its true 8-24-2008 8:26pm
- ^^^oh, and further,she is concerned that it is too much of a low ball offer 8-24-2008 8:27pm

- Dude, that is ASKING. 8-24-2008 8:21pm
- yeah, I get that. No one says they HAVE to sell, good be if they get less than 1 mill they will stay put 8-24-2008 8:21pm
- Fine, but that has nothing to do with prices being above 2004 levels - selling prices are not. 8-24-2008 8:22pm
- they are in some levels....This house was bought for 520 then and at most they put 200K in ....Something tells me they wont take 720K 8-24-2008 8:23pm
- op: there is no way in heck that they would take $720. $720 gets you a shed in rye. so ittta. 8-24-2008 8:24pm
- these ppl on here seem to believe that its fire sales all over and in fact, ppl are paying you to take their homes off their hands...so dumb 8-24-2008 8:26pm
- maybe that's the case in florida/nevada, but westcheter is doing ok -- no great -- but no fire sales yet 8-24-2008 8:30pm

- what do you mean they wont have a choice? How do you know why they are selling? Maybe they are seeing what they would get and then deciding what to do...You ppl are so "the sky is...(more) 8-24-2008 8:24pm
- oh, i was thinking of offering $900 ... i'm not crazy. 8-24-2008 8:23pm
- I would offer $900K then. that is not technically a lowball offer. 8-24-2008 8:24pm
- its $216K under asking, so i think its pretty low ball ... or i did until i realized what they bought it for! but the immediate area by the house has apparently gotten a lot nicer in...(more) 8-24-2008 8:26pm
