Ultimately the asking price is just a made up number, it's not a formulaic this area, this square footage, this condition, etc returns this value.
As such, it's really how you feel about whether you will get the asking price, if you want to wait, etc.
Even if you're minded to accept, there's probably no harm in going back with a counter-offer, you may screw a few more thousand out of them for the sake of an email/phone call.

Formal offer received from local people, 5.6% off asking. These buyers seems much more serious and less time-wasting than the previous but don't really have a reason for discount other than 'state of market' and 'attractive buyers'. (Should I ask for pictures to prove it?!)
I'm tempted to accept so we can get on with moving/travelling but it's a hefty amount to give up, even if it's imaginary without someone actually paying it.
