Thinking of putting in an offer for a house. The guide price is 375k. It's on the market a good few months. When selling our own the Ea told us expect to sell 20% less than guide. What do people think....
I put my house for sale in February for a realistic price and was Sale Agreed in March @ 7% less than Asking. I was moved out in April.What do people think....

Getting 2 bidders is key to getting a good price. Unfortunately we only had one bidder so were always going to be hard pressed to get Asking price or more.We put ours on in June and were sale agreed at 1.5% below asking in 15 days, 2 bidders. EA had suggested the asking price and promised the sale agreed price. So he knows how to price realistically.
Don't be tempted to raise your bid (it's a buyer's market)
You might put in a reasonable offer if you thought that the asking price was reasonable and you actually wanted the house. Obviously unrealistic sellers wont sell anything but unrealistic buyers won't get the house the want.The way I look at it- if house is for sale for months without a bid, why should I put an offer in anything near guide price.
