Why not offer a little lower in the first place? I mean if they don't like your offer, they can just counter with another price or the asking. I bought a house in Lakeview for 55K under the asking price and it is an indemand market right now.
I think it is stupid to offer the asking price off of the back. The only time I would offer asking if it was my absolute dream home and I put in an offer the day of an open house where other people were interested as well.

That's great that it worked out for you, but do you think that the seller would have even counter offered you if he received another offer on the same day for $55K more?
Also, the OPs sis wasn't looking at a 55K savings like you. If its a decent market the seller may have come down $5K. Sometimes the piece of mind is worth it if you can avoid haggling for days while risking losing a home you like.
