Remember that anything you buy you will eventually have to sell.
The house isn’t worth anywhere near his asking price or it would be sold.
His feelings don’t matter. Look at comps and make your best offer and be prepared to walk away.
You never HAVE to buy anything.

How old is the house? How many square feet? Get a comp list of all the homes in the area and price them out by square feet, and see if his is close.
A lot of times you get these jackass sellers who want to price their homes out more expensive than it would cost to build the same house brand new.

Zillow link us the house. We'll tell you exactly how much to offer and not a dollar more.
This is the only answer.

Here is the home. 3000 square feet, built in 94.

It has been officially listed for less than a year, though he might have fsbo'd it longer back.

Dang that’s nice OP. Offer him low and see what he does. He obviously isn’t in a hurry to sell.

The comps support his asking price, on a quick look. There could obviously be other factors. And, all the good comps are 2016. Appraisers and mortgage companies frown upon two year old comps.

Listing agent is Katherine Murphy. Call her and low ball her. You aren't lowballing the seller, you are lowballing their bitch (who will run off with 6% like a happy little bitch).

Thanks man, if I could get into this home for 200k I would be pretty damn happy..

Best of luck to you.

Never understood the idea of 'offending' someone by a low ball price.
Op, the proper way to buy a house is to get a list of comparable properties and see what they sold for divided by the square foot, this is where comp pricing comes from. Then take that sq ft pricing and multiply it by 3000 or whatever your house is.
$84/ sq ft is what it's listed at now. It's pretty damn hard to build a decent new house for $90/ sq ft. So it's already pretty cheap, and that doesn't include the cost of the land.

I bet if you head to town and Cross all your TT's, you can ask what you want. I Wood be Berry surprised if you didn't at least get a counter.

The front is almost identical to my folks place. If the interior is similar as well the heat and a.c. costs will be ungodly.
Unless the interior has been redone you're looking at something that's pretty dated as well.
If you're never going to leave this place, go for it but be prepared to sink some money into it to freshen it up if you want to eventually sell it.
Then consider how long it's taken them to.

Posted on 3/11/18 at 10:36 pm to HogBalls
Any updates?
Probably will need a new $8K twin A/C unit too.

Yup, just like in west texas. Because of the oil boom, they are selling shacks and wanting $$$$$ for garbage.

It depends on if the goal is to get that house or to just get a house at a discounted price. If you offer too low the owner might not view it as a serious offer and simply refuse the offer with no further negotiations.
