Stale MLS listings - avoid or seek out?
There aren't many listings on MLS in my area that I would consider decent deals. I have found many listings that have been up for well over six months that for a bit of a discount seem to be worthwhile. Has anyone has much success targeting MLS listings that are quite stale and putting out low, but reasonable offers? When I see listings that are up for quite some time I wonder if it is an issue with the house or the price. I suppose it doesn't hurt to put an offer after looking at the house. The worst that can happen is that it is rejected. Curious if offering on older listings is a strategy that others employ. Thanks.
