Asking Price v. Purchase Price

For those who purchased/gone into contracts on home within the past 6 months, how much (if any) did you pay below asking price?

Re: Asking Price v. Purchase Price

the house we bought was priced right for the area and condition, therefore we offered full asking price. there were also two other offers on the house. we lost one house to another offer of asking price. if the house is price right, it will go for asking price or close.

Re: Asking Price v. Purchase Price

We offered lower that what we got first and then the sellers said what their bottom line was. We wound up paying $15K below asking. But our house was priced right for the market and we saw enough to know that.

Re: Asking Price v. Purchase Price

$15,000 below asking
$45,000 below their original asking price

Was reduced $26K from original price, and then they went down another $20K from our offer. So I guess you can say $46K in total less than asking.
