My wife and I are in the mist of purchasing our first home in Augusta. Late 20s former military and love the town. I can tell you from a buyers perspective. 3b 2b 1750 sq ft sold at asking of 230k. According to our realtor and the amount of homes we looked at. We almost always went in at asking price and negotiated closing cost and major repairs. For us the buyers took on a full roof replacement of $7500 and covered 5k in closing. Only X factor would be the appraisal - many times we seen a home , went in at asking and appraisal comes back 50k lower it’s not happening.
We used the VA loan so maybe that makes a difference vs other buys but hope this helps. Buyers we engaged with were more willing to fix what was needed to sell to us rather then as is / or were willing to go a little below asking id say 5-15k
