 Avoid Overpaying
  • Know local sales prices

  • Ask your agent to check comparable homes sales or do your own research to measure your offer against current price tags.
  • Don't get carried away in a multiple-offer situation

  • Stick to your market research and negotiate with a clear head. You may win the bid if you offer better terms, and still get a lower price.
  • Control your emotions

  • No matter how much you want the house, you'll probably feel worse knowing you overpaid.
  • Never buy the best house on the block

  • It's not as likely to appreciate in value as a lesser property.
  • Don't be afraid to walk away

  • Unless it's a unique property, you'll probably find another house you like just as much.
