I've always wondered... the sellers offer a price. What is a reasonable percentage to try to negotiate down to? Obviously that depends on the house, if it needs work etc, but on average? Do most sellers expect some negotiation, or do people put houses on with that price and hat price only in mind? Some are quite specific! is there an average? How do you work out how much to negotiate by? Do you ask to get a valuation and building inspector before you put an offer on, or do you put in an offer and then once it's been accepted then do the inspections and either offer less or withdraw based on that?

Theres so much more to real estate that I never considered before LOL!
