AJ`s Investment Blog for Real Estate

Some people expect to buy a house for a ridiculously low price. Like they want 20 percent off. Who would give you that? When you put in an offer that low you are just upsetting the seller and they will refuse to even negotiate with you. That is a really bad strategy. Sure you can search Calgary houses and find some foreclosures that are already listed low, but even the banks rarely take anything less than 5 percent off the list price. Get a good realtor to figure out the fair market value a property and then make an offer that is close to that and allow yourself some room to negotiate.
