We are checking the house in Greensborough area.

嗰邊啲屋都唔平喎

ok la.  We checked a house few weeks ago.  A one in Appleview Rd, not too big, near a park.  But we didn't get it.

好多人爭??? 冬天應該無咁癲喎!! 睇咗幾多間呀?

Well...lots of people from China....place unreasonable high bid......

當你試過好似我咁, 遇到13個人爭, 然後炒高11萬, 你自然會慣, 唔覺得一回咩事, 當年我睇屋都睇到無晒感覺, 放工後一晚睇6間, weekend 仲辛苦過返工呀, 連途經啲 open house 都唔放過, 試過1日睇咗10間

Well....the way we do it now is.....for example....The price is $590000.  If we really like the house, we offer $630000 or a bit more.  Then take it or leave it.  If the owner wants a bit more...we have to see how much more.  If too much.....we leave.

Ben, your strategy will never work if there are people bidding with unreasonably high prices woh. if it is like what egg said, then u can only afford the houses whose asking price is $520,000 or lower.

not really if they're very lucky

and it will really depends on the owner how to set a offer day. if that is open, you may get it at reasonable price, if the owner set an offer day, then ..... is will bit up crazy
