Don’t you have a realtor? A big part of their job is to do a market analysis to tell you what a reasonable offer would be. The current market is strange because some nice things are still really hot and drawing well over asking, while some more run down places are sitting for weeks or months in a way that wasn’t happening this time last year.

Zillow has a feature where you can search recently sold homes, so you could also flick through a handful in that area to see what they were going for.

Thx. I have a realtor but they get paid on purchase so hardly objective advice. The comps seem to support the price.

When purchasing, your realtor works for you. If you don’t feel you’re getting objective advice, you need to get a new agent.

I tell clients all the time not to buy houses, it’s a relationship business any realtor that just wants commission now isn’t in it for the long haul. I’d rather my client be happy I was honest and have them refer more business to me down the line.

For comps I provide the list of comps I find to my client so we can discuss and arrive at the value together. Happy to run comps and give you an idea of what I think on the house you are looking at though.

I’m a piece of work? You make it a practice to insult strangers you don’t even know or understand? Maybe you should ask more questions before you insult people. You’re the piece of work.

YOU should wake up. Most are terrible and just out to suck suck suck out a commish, of course there are some good but they are rare in my experience. I will not stop insulting this "profession" until I see improvement. You know how to tell if a broker is lying and just selling the shit out of some piece of shit overpriced dump to suck a commish? their lips are moving.

And there it is, you sound like an incredibly toxic and difficult person. Of course you're telling me to stop insulting you. while insisting on insulting an entire profession. I feel for any Realtor who has to deal with your endless negativity
