Yes you can find a nice home in Bucks County around $200,000. There are currently over 150 Townhome and Twin style homes listed for sale under that price. As for offering $200,000 on a property listed at $240,000 to $250,000. Why not? The asking price is just that, asking, it is what the seller would like to receive. Your offering price is what you would ike to pay. The number in between is what needs to be negotiated. Find a Buyers agent who is not concerned with "insulting" the seller and who will negotiate on your behalf. If your agent refuses find another agent. As buyers agents we don't worry about the sellers feelings. As listing agents we never are insulted by an offer in writing accompaned by all appropriate documentation including a good faith check. At a bare minimum it gives us a starting point for negotiation.
So find yourself a good buyers agent and find a home. If you decide to look in the Yardley/Newtown area give us a call. We would be happy to help.

My answer is YES. I do believe that what you are looking for is not unreasonable. You must however, have an agent that WORKS FOR YOU and is EXPERIENCED in representiing buyers.

Myself and my team are full time Buyer's agents (there is no charge to you for having a buyer represent you). We have obtained our Accredtitted Buyers Representation certification and we have taken advance courses in "Negotiating for the Buyer". We reside in the Bucks County. We have been doing business in this are for over 25 years. Give me a call or email direct if you wish to discuss this further.

Best of luck,

Hi Lama,
There are so many variables, I'd have to do some research. First thing to check, though, is what are homes in the development actually selling for. Not what are they listed at - what price did recent sales actually settle at? If they are actually selling at $240-250K, I would say that unless it was some sort of distress sale (estate, home in poor condition, short sale, etc) that your chances are pretty low.

If you want to email me the communities you are interested in, I'd be happy to send you recently sold comps.

Hello Lama918,

Quite honestly, it all will depend on the area, the home's condition and if the home is priced right. It will also depend on how good a negotiator your Realtor is.

I have found out that many Realtors are uncomfortable negotiating or fighing for their client. Any client of mine will tell you that it is my practice to fight for my client no matter what and that I am an expert negoiator.

So, depending on all of the circumstances, it may be possible but I couldn't say for sure until I saw the home and did my research.

I'd love to talk with you about your situation.

Feel free to read my blog at http://www.reneeporsia.com. You can find out what type of Realtor I am.
