Re: pre-approval...

I would say asking price bc it shows you are a serious bidder.

agreed, though, for us, we had our pre-approval letter give the ceiling amount we were willing to pay. Our house was listed at $20k more than what we ended up at (we started at $24k below what we ended up paying; $44k below asking). So for us, we knew that we weren't going to spend more than what we did on the home and having our pre-approval letter set at that amount gave the indication that it was that # or bust for the seller.

FTR we underspent b/c we wanted to have a particular monthly payment that allows us to save.
