There are some details that remain undiscussed that I hope you will consider. What is your & fiancee's criteria for 'must have' in a house? 'Cute' won't cut it if the bedrm is too small to meet your needs. How many bthrms when you are both getting ready to go to work or out with friends? What is commute to work for ea. of you?
What services do you need and what is nearby or enroute for shops, services, recreation facilities, green space? Who lives on that street? Are there many children on that block or mostly young couples like yourselves?
There seems to be a lot of homes for sale in the area. Why? How does that house stack up with all the others? I suggest a 'price match' with your value for specifics. For example, determine asking price per square foot. sf cost for other houses of similar size? How much is a front drive, single garage worth? Do other homes have dble garage? That is more appealing for commuters with 2 vehicles. Brick houses require far less external maintenance, what does that add to the cost of a house?
The house doesn't have many things I would expect at that price point like... tiled kitchen backsplash, mature landscape, updated flooring. This house was built in 01 meaning the appliances, flooring are 8 yrs old with 15 yr. lifespan. BTW, the listing price is merely the suggested price. You can offer any sum you think valid. A house is only worth what a buyer is willing to pay and a seller will accept. How many houses does the bank want to keep on it's books? How many qualified buyers are available?
