Should look at in percentage term rather than absolute term. 100k may not be large if you are looking at military million house.

Very hard to say.
You must know what is the market rate.
Check it out at URA website.
Preferably if got other units on sale in the development, go view it as well and compare the selling price.
Especially for old units, you need to consider whether it is with the original old furnishing or whether owner just renovated the place.
Then you decide what is the right price you want and you name your price.

don't play lowball if you are 101% sure you like the place. and you know there will be many others out there who will want it.

unless your taste is unique.

Agreed... Check last transacted, check bank valuation. If you like it, if it matches last transacted and bank... Go for it. Don't expect below valuation in the current market... Sellers not desperate... Might miss boat...:banghead:

Different story when market turns, or when new CM comes out... Can try your luck then...:2cents:

It depends on how much the agent is willing to help and how desperate the agent wants to close. There are agents who know that a similar recent transacted unit in the condo is much higher n they refuse to tell their seller coz raising the seller's asking means taking longer for the agent to close the deal. you may ask me how I know, coz I have bought through such an agent before :D

That's very true. Caveats out only 2 or 3 weeks after transactions. So you need to check asking price before transaction. Most agents give away the seller's asking price with "offer in excess of"
