It's fine to offer above asking in select neighborhoods, but not always.
Offering above asking can make sense for the following reasons:
🔹 The home is priced below comps intentionally to drive traffic
🔹 You’re up against multiple offers with short deadlines
🔹 The listing is in a niche market with limited alternatives
But it’s not a one-size-fits-all move. A good agent can help you assess whether the price is truly low... or if it just looks that way.
Overpaying for the wrong home can be a bigger loss than missing out on the right one, which is why it's so important to focus on value vs. victory.
Would you rather win a bidding war or walk away with confidence?
