Aloha, In a market where the sale-to-list price is 97.9%, homes sold above list price is 18.7%, and homes with price drops is 51.4%, I’m exploring how to respectfully submit an offer with a 30% to 50% discount on the listing price.Beside from the following actions, are there any additional steps I can take to ensure my approach is considerate to both the seller and my agent?

I'm looking to connect with anyone who has experience with these types of loans in addition to anyone looking to build out their network as I am.I look forward to hearing from you all!

We do currently have around $50k set aside for our next downpayment as well (that’s in addition to a $25k emergency fund).
