理论上来说，您可以出任何您觉得合理的offer. 但是实际操作过程中，您的low-ball offer可能会被卖家认为您不是一个诚意的买家，只是为了试探卖家的价格底线。一些情况下，卖家对于这样的offer，可能会不予理会。在加拿大，买卖双方大多数情况下，都是由代表卖家和代表买家的Realtor (房产经纪) 进行沟通，经验丰富的房产经纪，比较了解当地的房价，会根据房子状况，当时的市场环境，卖家的卖房意愿强烈程度，来写一个offer, 对于一些刚来的新移民或者没有很多购房经验的买家来说， 这样的经验对于他们而言，是非常重要的。
概括来讲，最好在您做出买房决定后，寻找一位适合您的房产经纪，比如专业程度，性格脾气，时间安排上都比较匹配的房产经纪，这样您的买房过程相对会更加省时，省心，高效。
Technically, you can make whatever offer you want on a property, but that doesn’t mean it will be considered or accepted.
Talk to your REALTOR® to come up with a fair and reasonable offer that is low enough to meet your expectations without offending the seller. They are local market experts and will be able to provide insights into trends and know what it takes to make your offer more desirable. There are many things to consider before making any offer on a property, but one of the most important things to consider is the condition of your local market.
Your REALTOR® can provide a comparative market analysis, which will look at other comparable properties in your area and what they’re selling for. If these comparable properties are selling for a lot less than the asking price on the property you’re interested in, it could give your offer more merit. On the flip side, you may discover that the listing price is reasonable given the current trends and market conditions.
Whether you live in a buyer’s or seller’s market will also dictate how much negotiation power you have.
As you mentioned, days on market may come into consideration. If the property has been on the market for a long time, the seller may be more motivated to sell and might consider an offer lower than their listing price.
If you decide to submit an offer lower than the asking price, there are other ways to make it more desirable, such as removing any conditions or being flexible with the closing date.
Speaking of conditions, another route your REALTOR® may recommend is making an offer at the listing price, but with conditions that would include renovations or repairs to areas of concern.
Make sure you weigh all your options and discuss them with your REALTOR®.
Good luck!
