Buying A House In A Down Market Orange California Tip 3

Buying A House In A Down Market Orange California Tip 3

Look out for Motivated Sellers
Some homeowners may want to sell their homes in a hurry. This gives you additional bargaining power. In a situation like this it makes sense to ask if the seller will throw in the lawn mower, furniture or fixtures that you like. You can also ask the seller to cover closing costs in total or in part. Of course, the listing price is always negotiable as well.

Here are a couple of signs that the seller is motivated:

• The home may have been on the market for several months and has undergone several price reductions.
• At the showing the home is empty, which suggests the seller has moved and may be holding two mortgages.

It's very difficult to determine exactly how much leverage you have in any given situation - after all, there are many reasons why someone could be selling. However, your agent can give you a general idea of the seller's motivation. An agent has access to the Multiple Listing Service and can track down the original list price versus the selling price for similar homes in the area. The agent can also find out how long the house has been on the market and determine any price reductions that have occurred.

Many states make deed records and home-sale information available to the general public on the internet. This information will tell you what the seller paid for the home, which, in turn, tells you how much profit the seller stands to make if he or she gets the asking price.
