Some tips on finding that sweet spot.
AI summary
Deciding how much to offer on a house requires careful preparation. Start by researching the market using free tools like Homes.co.nz to check recent sales and property estimates. For a more accurate figure, consider getting a professional valuation.
Establish a clear budget and a firm "walk-away" price to avoid overpaying. When making your offer, using an odd number (e.g., $812,750) can give you a slight edge over competitors. Knowing your limit is crucial for a successful purchase.
