yeah, i get that you can offer whatever you want.

i'm just trying to gauge if places are actually going for over the "offers in excess of" number (ie is it a hot or luke warm market?)

i'm a seller in this situation, so what we can get for this place dictates what our options are for the next place.

having a look at sold prices suggests that the sticker prices are not way off the transaction prices.

When we sold our last place, we discovered that “offers in excess of” means “we will entertain offers above £xx” rather than “we have received offers above £xx”. This wasn’t how I’d understood it while browsing around for somewhere to buy

They can entertain all they want it may as well say MSRP.

Who would actually go over a value someone indicates they would consider, unless there is actually a bidding war?

I always went in under on principle to gauge the owner as a house is worth what the buyer will pay not what the owner wants.
