One key tactic is to research the market thoroughly. Knowing the average price per square foot in the area will give you a strong bargaining position.

Try to understand the seller’s motivation. If they’re in a hurry to sell, they might be more open to lowering the price.

Don’t show too much interest in the property. If the seller thinks you’re emotionally attached, they might be less willing to negotiate.

Be prepared to walk away if the price isn’t right. Sometimes, showing that you’re willing to leave the deal can prompt the seller to offer a better price.

Consider negotiating on other terms, like the closing date or including furniture, if the seller is firm on the price. These can add value to the deal.

Getting pre-approved for a loan can make you a more attractive buyer, giving you more leverage in negotiations.

Inspect the property thoroughly and use any issues as a bargaining chip to negotiate a lower price.

Be patient and avoid making impulsive decisions. Taking your time can sometimes lead to better offers or additional perks from the seller.
