Can Bōdie help me decide what to offer on a home?

Yes. Ask Bōdie on any listing whether it's priced fairly, what similar homes sold for and which conditions matter. It educates; the offer price stays yours.

What to Ask Before You Offer

Open Bōdie on the listing page so it can read the home you're looking at, then ask:

What Bōdie Looks At

  • The listing itself: price, size, bedrooms, bathrooms, type, age and days on market
  • Sold and comparable data from over 10 years of MLS® history, weighted toward the closest, most recent and most similar sales. Sold prices show once you're signed in
  • Market signals for the community, such as how quickly homes are selling and how prices are moving
  • The buyer's agent commission the seller is offering, which is shown on every Bōde listing and is worth factoring into your price if you're self-represented

Turning the Answer Into an Offer

  1. Decide your offer price using the comparable sales Bōdie surfaced as your evidence.
  2. Choose a deposit amount and deadline. A larger deposit signals you're serious.
  3. Pick your conditions, such as financing and a home inspection, and the dates by which you'll satisfy them.
  4. Choose your possession date.
  5. Select Make an Offer on the listing page. Bōde walks you through each field and produces the standard purchase contract for your province.

You'll need an account and completed ID verification before you can submit. See How do I make an offer? and Why do you need my ID as a buyer?

What Bōdie Does Not Do

  • It doesn't negotiate for you, and it never submits or changes an offer. You set the price and terms, and you respond to any counter.
  • It doesn't give legal, financial or tax advice. Your lawyer or notary and your lender still have their roles. See Does Bōdie give legal, financial or tax advice?
  • It can't submit an offer on a home listed by another brokerage. You can still ask Bōdie about any MLS® listing, but the offer goes through that listing's brokerage. See Can I make an offer on an MLS® listing through Bōde?
