How to Buy an Aberdeen NJ Home or How Much Should You Offer the Seller?
Okay, you're ready to purchase
Aberdeen NJ real estate. How much should you offer the seller? Your friends and family advise you to "offer low" to take advantage of the recession.
Few people know how much the seller will accept before submitting an offer. If you were the seller would you undermine your own cause? Often the seller doesn't know until the offer is tabled and if the listing agent is privy he/she cannot forfeit that information without signed permission from the seller. Client confidentiality is not a service the listing broker provides; it is mandated by New Jersey state law.
So how much should you bid to receive the elusive discount, defined as the average closing sale price LESS than the original list price for Aberdeen NJ real estate?
I use original list price; this was the first price advertised on the first day of the listing. To use the "last" advertised price that may include price reductions will color the number towards the seller.
I analyzed all the closing sales in Aberdeen NJ homes so far. Consult the following table for the detailed list of Aberdeen NJ single family home sales, which includes the Strathmore sub-division.
