Home Buying Tip - How Long Has The Home Been For Sale?

When looking to buy real estate, consider how long the property has been on the market, especially when compared to similar properties that are on the market (or have recently sold).

Check on the original listing date of the homes you inspect as it may give you an idea of how motivated (or desperate) the owner is to sell.

Sellers tend to be more flexible in the price the longer the home is on the market.

Home Buying Tip - Don't Reveal Your Upper Price Limits

When buying real estate always play your cards close to your chest. Be careful what you say to the seller, or the sellers broker. Don't reveal your upper price limits. Never tell a sellers broker how much you'll raise your offer to for a particular property. After-all, you don't want to end up paying more than you have to just because of a careless slip of the tongue.

Take indoor and outdoor photographs of each house you inspect. A checklist is a good tool too. Take photos and make notes because it can get confusing when looking at several properties. And don't hesitate to return to each house for a second look.
