Ten Things to Consider When Negotiating

1.  How long has the property been on the market?

2. Has the price been reduced during the listing period?

3. Have there been any other offers on the property?

4.  Why is the seller selling?

5.  What all are you buying?

6.  What is the price range of properties that have been sold in the area?

7.  What other factors may affect the property value of the house or neighborhood?

8.  Don't let time pressure get to you.

9.  Prioritize your tasks so you don't get overwhelmed.

10.  Don't get into a bidding war.
