You're in a strong bargaining position, that is, you look particularly welcome to a seller, if:
- you're an all-cash buyer
- you're already have a preapproved mortgage and you don't have a present house that has to be sold before you can afford to buy
- you're able to close and take possession at a time that is especially convenient for the seller
In these circumstances, you may be able to negotiate some discount from the listed price.
On the other hand, in a "hot" seller's market, if the perfect house comes on the market, you may want to offer the list price (or more) to beat out other early offers.
It's very helpful to find out why the house is being sold and whether the seller is under pressure. Keep the following considerations in mind:
- every month a vacant house remains unsold represents considerable extra expense for the seller
- if the sellers are divorcing, they may want to sell quickly
- estate sales often yield a bargain in return for a prompt deal
