I want to bid on a short sale home in West Sacramento, CA. The listing price is $200K. My sister is the president of the HOA and said the county assessor just re-appraised the houses in the community at $225K for tax adjustments. The house was originally sold for $361K two years ago...so I'm assuming a lot more is owed on the house than the asking price. The house is 2 years old, has about $30k worth of updates and is in excellent condition. Also, there are two other houses in the community on short sale for the same price. What would you think would be a good offer. I really like the house...and am thinking of offering a little more than the asking price.
