What to Expect When Making an Offer on a Bank Owned Home in Maricopa AZ: 

Prior to the $8,000 Tax Credit expiring:  On average, you can expect for there to be multiple offers and for the selling price to be at or above list price (if not thousands over).  After the Seller receives the offer, you should have a response within 7 to 10 days if not sooner.  Sometimes the Seller will inform you that there are multiple offers and other times they will not. 

Since the end of the Tax Credit:  I am seeing the inventory of bank owned homes slowly increasing as well on being on the market for a longer period of time.  Is it not uncommon for homes to be on the market for weeks without an offer and some properties are being reduced accordingly.  However, if you think about making an offer below list price, many banks will still counter at list price or very close to list price.
