Yes — asking prices are always open to negotiation.

Buyers typically come in below asking, though when multiple offers are on the table, a buyer may go above it.

A bit of knowledge about current market conditions goes a long way toward crafting a smart offer.

We regularly publish current trends in our Market Update. In a hot market, final sold prices may average just 2%-3% under asking; in slower periods, the average can be closer to 10% below.
