The first rule in negotiating a real estate offer is to do your homework in advance of signing a contract to buy a residential property. Working with a knowledgeable and experienced real estate agent will cost you little or nothing and can save you a great deal of money. In most areas of the country, existing and new home inventories are high levels and may represent from 6 months to over 1 year of supply.
There are basically 3 types of sellers; those that can or are willing to wait for the market to rebound regardless of whether they have realistically priced their home or not; those that have a strong desire to sell regardless of their rationale but can walk away from an offer; and those that are bound to sell due to whatever reasons they have for selling.
Start with having your real estate agent find out all the pricing history available for a given property. This will include all previous sales to the extent public information is available. Determine if possible what the seller paid when purchasing the property and the years and/or months of ownership. Assuming an MLS (Multiple Listing System) property, find out what the original asking price was and how it compared to comparable values at the time of listing. Determine what if any price changes have been made with the listing. Ask your real estate agent to do a history search not only on the specific MLS listing number but on the address as well to determine what other MLS listing numbers were assigned to the property. Done correctly, this will give you the full property pricing history and a very important foundation and first step in developing your offer strategy.
