Hi Victoria
Can anyone tell me whether it is the done thing to "haggle" over asking prices for houses in Victoria,or will you get shown the door?
A book I read recently on buying houses in OZ said never to offer the full asking price but to start your offer at 10-15% below the asking price and work up.
Has anyone had any experience of this and did it work?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Mike and Connie :wink:
