How much discount can you usually get?

[Adam McIntyre]

Hey everyone, I'm about to put an offer in on my first property. I've never bought (and therefore never negotiated the price of) a house. So I'm curious what's the typical wiggle room you get out of a seller? It's a new House and the seller is the architect and builder. He knows there is a strong Airbnb demand in the area so he is reluctant to budge on price. However I know he doesn't want to hold this house too long. So, what would you consider a good % discount on the asking price? Would you consider paying full price a bad move if the numbers are reasonable? Or do you always look for discounts? Cheers!
