"How low can I offer?" I hear this question all the time from buyers, and I pretty much have the same repsonse every time. "It depends." What may appear to be a lowball offer is actually a fair market value for the property. That does not mean the seller is going to view it that way. This difference of opinion about the value of a property is why so many homes do not sell. When the seller's price is in line with the market's opinion of value, the property will likely sell and close to the asking price.

If you don't believe me, consider this. I looked at sales in Orange County Florida for each of the last eight years, going back to the insane market of 2005. Specifically, what I was looking at was the average and median percentage of sales price to list price ratio.

YearSalesAvg SP/LPMedian SP/LP
200520k99%100%
200617k98%99%
200710k96%97%
20089k95%96%
200916k94%

98%

201019k98%99%
201118k97%98%
2012 q14k97%98%

Rising prices, declining prices, climbing sales and declining sales markets are all included in this eight year span. Notice though, that the average sales price to list price percentage ranged from a low of 94% to a high of 99%, and the median sales price to list price percentage ranged from 96% to 100%. These numbers are based on the last list price of the sold homes, so many of the sellers did have to reduce their prices to get to the market value. Once a property is at the market value, there really is not a lot of negotiating that goes on with respect to the price regardless of the type of market we are in.

Too early Orlando real estate sales statistics for May: 962 closed sales with a median sales price of $120,000. If the median price holds that will ten months of year over year price increases.

There are 7,693 homes for sale listed by Orlando Realtors and 11,163 homes listed as contract pending. Of the homes still available for sale, 840 are foreclosures and 1,888 are short sales. Of the homes with contracts pending, 1,409 are foreclosures and 7,658 are short sales.

Way too early Orlando real estate sales statistics for May: 563 closed sales with a median sales price of $120,000. We are slightly ahead of where we were this time last month, so I am predicting sales in the 2,400 range again. Looks like prices may be up again too, but they tend to be more volatile than the number of sales.
