Hi, I am a single mom who is looking to find decent housing in Mercer County NJ. I have applied for a special low interest rate loan, and should get approval and interest rate any day now. I have been searching online for homes in East Windsor and Lawrenceville and have found a few that I like. The houses I like tend to be priced at around 400 thousand. Two that I like inparticular have been on the marker for over 4 or 5 months. (Just because the market is slow and I feel the houses are a little overpriced) I was wondering what a decent offer would be in the market that we are in now, adding the time the houses have been on the market. I don't want to make to much of a lowball offer but would like to know what a decent offer would be. Is there a certain percentage rate below asking price that is considered insulting? What percentage below asking would be a decent one considering the market. It doesn't help that the taxes here are sky high. Any advice would be great! Thanks
