Brrrr is tough since everyone does it, plus construction and contractors are booking right now.The lower budget stuff gets gobbled up by people that have no idea what they're doing or sellers won't take low-ball offers.

No one has a crystal ball.

Is this a low ball offer or is it reasonable ?

I found it myself on Redfin and gave a low ball offer, the bank countered a little higher and we accepted.

Master developers will likely low-ball you an offer if the demand is there.

IF THEY WANT TO TAKE UP AN EXTRA 20 MINUTES OF YOUR TIME AND JUST TALK, BE A DECENT PERSON AND LISTEN.This guy was an old-timer, well-off and he said he just liked us because we confirmed times to show up for viewing the house and never tried to act too cool for the property or totally low-ball him.
