asianms 0 Report post Posted January 20, 2009 You go and see the unit, then you make a reasonable offer. Usually, you have to know what the valuation is, so you don't offer too high COV, or u don't insult the owner by making a ridiculously low offer before valuation. Alternatively, you may offer a certain amount above/below valuation, or at valuation, if the valuation report is not available yet. I would ask if there were previous offers and how much, then I work out how much I would need to spend on reno, before making an offer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hello88 2 Report post Posted January 22, 2009 VTO? look at the valuation date first. The flat might be marketed for quite sometime and either no suitable offer or no offer at all. Most importantly, the report might be over soon so agent asking for VTO. If u like the flat, try at value first and see what's the response. I always believed there's room for discussion if the sellers are keen to sell. Some agents advertised valuation price and when u call up, they'll say sellers looking at the range of 20-30k. Personally, I wont even want to view the flat as I know I cant afford 20-30k. 1 or 2 months later, u'll see that the agent is still trying to market the flat but now its VTO.

Durian pudding 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2009 VTO is a lousy tactic used by agent..... when you offer, they claimed got ppl offer higher than you even there is no offer at all. Just want you to offer to the price they want.....dun bother to go, tell them straight to tell you the selling price Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just want you to offer to the price they want.....dun bother to go, tell them straight to tell you the selling price Everyone also want the best for themselves; seller wants the highest price, buyers want the lowest price. So its how we all play the mind game. IMO, VTO is quite a stupid game to play - if you open the floodgate to let the buyer give you whatever price they want, then the seller is subjecting himself to alot of debate. What happens if the seller counter-offer to the buyer's offer, and the buyer stick to his first offer? "You ask me to offer, so this is my offer lor. Take it or leave it." So stuck there, no deal. I always believe someone who does not name a price means they do not know anything at all; they want others to come in with offers so they can gauge the market. Usually unprofessional, lazy agents will do this, instead of doing their proper analysis. So, throw them off with low, low prices, see how they going to answer to the seller. Never give your sincere price to a VTO ad; your wish will never come true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
666 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2009 My opinion on VTO is dat seller oso do not want to fix themselves to a price which they think might be low. So they are just fishing around to see who can offer the highest. Something like an auction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like said above, its only people who do not know anything at all will be asking for VTO... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tower 0 Report post Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) In my opnion, VTO would greatly depend on whether the unit being sold: 1) Has the valuation report been done? 2) Is the valuation report going to expire soon? In the first case, the owner might be just testing the market,hoping for a astronomical figure and may not be sincere in selling his flat in the first place. For the second scenario, it depends if the owner is desperate to sell the unit before the expiry of the valuation report. If so, he may lower his expectation and accept a lower bid. If not, he might just re-do the valuation and get a slightly higher valuation basing on the current HDB resale trend and prices. Ultimately, you still must know the valuation and transacted prices of recent units sold in the area. Do your homework, do not simply just listen to the agents. Sometimes they take the easy way out and just want the transaction to close asap and move on. Increase of $10k is not going to increase his commission significantly.
