Take a good look at what else is for sale of similar size and location. See if there is a price gap. When I was selling one of my homes there was a price gap in the homes for sale in my area. Lower prices were 100,000 basically, then the next housing price level was 150,000. People pay attention to price when it comes to houses, and some of them will look at two houses, and decide to buy the more expensive one thinking it is a better deal, (Price Snobs they do exist). I really did not want to move, but we were growing tired of the increasing noise in the neighborhood. So Since I did not really want to move we set a price right in the middle of the price gap zone, they offered a little bit less but we still made a lot more than I felt the home was actually worth at the time, so I had to move.
Look to the future, are you going to be able to find a price gap in the housing prices in the future? Of course nothing is guaranteed, look at the location, does the potential home offer easy resale-ability? I know you have likely thought of these things. Also look at what are the deterrents to the area? High traffic location, long commute, lack of green spaces, of shopping, noise, schools. Point out a few of the bad things twist a few of the pluses to bad things when you talk to the realtor and make your offer. I don't know what kind of rules your country has for buying and selling a home, but here in the states, or at least where I live, the realtors all talk to each other, (even though their not supposed to).
The sellers may hear why you priced your offer at the level you made, and think twice about an open rejection.
We have looked at similar "move in ready" places that are about 75% higher in price without having as many of the benefits. Good location, low traffic, parks, close to lake, close to shopping, good public transport, schools etc. I think that byt the time we sell (if we sell), it would be well positioned in the area as a larger renovated home, without being excessively expensive. The alternative would be apartment living for a higher price or a large shift up 50% again. Plus, I think we can make it pretty :)

That's what my wife and I did on the homes we bought and sold, get something that needs a little work, make it pretty, and by then it is time to move again. I've moved way to much in my life, and I hope our next move will be the last. It would be nice to watch a tree grow.
This is part of why we want to get into a house now. Perhaps our daughter can't plant a tree, but I think I am too old to see it mature :)
