The art of the lowball

Not yet...I am purposely...on the go slow...kinda of like a sloth..I don't want to startle the even slower natives.....still the Pest and Building to go...

 

Does that major capital city start with an A?

 

Well it won't be a B in Q, unless agent and vendor were on a big NYE bender that day !

 

Could be A, Q, or P....

 

Come on, come clean, you have pulled a rabbit out of the hat haven't you.....State = Q capital....what is it a burnt out caravan in a trailer park ???

 

It has been said here before, you can put forward any conditions really. Each situation will need to be treated individually.

re rapport, do not think you need to think about it, people can probably sense if your serious or just pulling a leg.

 

Or Google what it sold for last time

 

Then there will be a list of things that are 'deal breakers' from the B&P for you and to continue with the sale you will need the price adjusted

 

If it was ever an 'S', then you know I've gone under.

 

Now that is gold Simon....agree with what you say about agents...this is exactly what happened to me today!

I just put under contract a on a old 3x1x1 house on just over 400sqm of land for 232k....it is only about 11 klms of the city of Adelaide.

It it rented for $265pw...the house could do with a tidy up.....new houses in the area are going for 420k plus for a 3x2x2. The median is about 360k. The land val is about 225-230k.

Do ya think Iow balled...well sort of...initially offered 240k after Xmas....then 232k.....it got accepted.

Now waiting on the Pest and Building....this is hard work....

This agent is now my best mate after he told me about another listing for 360k odd no on the market...i offered to buy it off him as this property is only 5 klms from the city.

 

thta's a good buy sash.

 

@sash

Very nicely done! love it.

 

Yes...looking at a couple more low balls now.....very slow going...hard work.

Fingers crossed P&B is ok.....this time I am getting someone with a Thermal Imaging camera...to look over the house. Expensive but worth it.

 

為什麼我們寫中文?
Translation = Why are we writing in chinese?

 

Anyway, back on topic, for lowballing i blame my spouse
Its much harder for an agent to argue with you when you are both on the same side and the opponent is your spouse

 

Why not?

 

因为这是不礼貌的不是每个人都讲普通话

Hi yaaa......

 

....good if your on the same page, can't hurt, I like when an agent goes for what they think will be a soft target to only get hit harder than what I do.....lol

 

u're not chinese as well are you @sash? well yeah i suppose that's like being in footscray market not understanding a word being said.

 

Ta Sash... I need to keep trying to read and write (but understand the spoken language most importantly!).... Chinese language can be very overwhelming, and I didn't grow up knowing any of it.

I notice heaps of Chinese speakers (Mandarin and Cantonese) where I live.
