Judging an Oshawa reduction
Three facts sort most Oshawa reductions. First, how the home compares with what actually sold nearby; a cut that lands above the neighbours' sales is not a discount. Second, what kind of seller is behind it: an investor holding a renovated bungalow in Eastdale or Donevan usually has a number below which the flip stops making sense, while a family in Samac or Centennial that has already bought elsewhere may accept a fair offer quickly. Third, whether the offer plan changed with the price. Oshawa sellers who tried an offer date and then dropped it have told you their showings were quiet. Use the reduction as a reason to look, then base your offer on the comparables and the condition of the house, not on how far the seller has already moved.
