text: there is a house on the market for 3k asking price.  what would you offer? there is a 4 bdrm 2 1/2 ba 2 car garage on nice lot for 3k, it is in a small town where prices tend to be in the mid 2k range.  i like the house it is in really good condition, if it was you how much would you offer to buy the house for?  i don't want to offer to much but i also don't want to offer to little but if you were asking that price for a home you were selling that you originally purchased for 89,000 what price would you take? way too many variables for a quick answer. call a real estate agent in your area. they know the local market and can help you select an asking price and to make the offer on the house you want.  btw, k (like in 2k and 3k) means thousand, not hundred thousand. i expect you meant 300k (300,000) and 200k (200,000) not 3k (3,000) and 2k (2,000)
