What to offer for a foreclosed home?
My fiance' and I are intersted in purchasing a foreclosed home that was originally priced at $18,900. Recently, the price dropped to $14,900. It has only been on the market for 2 weeks, but there is already another offer on the house. We were approved for $30,000. What should our offer be? This house has a lot of potential, but I'm not certain it's worth our entire pre-approval amount.
The other offer was made with cold, hard cash. If some rich handyman made the offer, we can't compete with that. I want to make the highest offer possible to ensure we get it.

If you really want the house, offer the 14,900. Chances are the other offer is not a full price offer. If you're worried that it is, go up to the 18.9.

If you really want this house I'd offer full bid, $14,900. Sometimes, to ensure I get a foreclosure that I really want, I go over the bid just a little. Like 15,200 or 15,400.
I flip houses for a living, so I bid on foreclosures all the time. Good luck.

Find out what it is worth.
The list price may or may not reflect that true value.
hire a buyer's agent that will be paid out of a commission that the seller pays. Ask your agent how much other places like that are selling for.
