A Cole Realty Rundown.

Mailbag. 

• 7:00  - Pat asks us how the size of his home will affect its selling price. His lot is a bit smaller than other lots that have sold recently in his neighborhood.
• Answer: Surprisingly, you might not get that much less for your land than you would if it were half an acre or so bigger. Buyers typically view your lot as an all-inclusive purchase, so unless the difference is multiple acres of land, you probably won't see that much disparity in the price.
• As always, you have to think about location as well. A half acre of land in downtown Raleigh is going to cost a lot more than a half acre of land in Clayton.
• The usage of the land can also affect its price point. 
• 23:04 - Clara wants to put a lowball offer on a home that's been around awhile. She wants to know whether this is a bad idea.    
•  Answer: Well, it sort of depends. They could simply reject your offer and move on. However, if you then went back with a second offer, it's possible you could offend the sellers. If so, they might not be willing to negotiate with you at all. This could hurt yourself and keep you from getting the best price. Rather than giving an unrealistic offer, give a low offer, but make sure it's still fair.
