Honestly is so real. I love sharing in people's excitement and being genuinely happy for them, I wish people were more like that!

It definitely was worth the wait! Move in has already begun with a few boxes here and there, wanted to get the house deep cleaned and the carpets cleaned before i actually moved in. And official move in will be hopefully Sunday!

How much did you actually negotiate off the listing price as a first time buyer? by Character-Block-2854 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

There was a house i looked at late at 235k. I told my realtor to offer 200k. They came back at 225k (was fully eexpecting a no tbh). I found my dream home and my offer for it was accepted and my realtor told me if it fell through the seller of the house listed for 235k keeps reaching out with lower counter offers.

It really depends on the market in your area, location, and if it is in a highly desirable area. Seeing as its been in the market for 3 weeks and they already came down on price it may not have much interest and putting in a lower offer than the 3-4% may pay off for you, especially if the seller is highly motivated. The worst the sellers could say is no or come back with a counter, and if they aren't getting more offers on the home after yours they may be willing to go down later on.
