In a buyer's market, it is the seller's turn to be flexible and open to negotiation with purchase price, closing dates, move-in dates, storage, appliances, window treatments, points and fees. The seller should provide curb appeal, cleanliness, overall good condition and updates--any little flaw should be taken care of before the first buyer arrives. In this market, don't reject low offers--negotiate. Something to consider is to offer to pay the buyer's closing costs, moving costs, or loan origination fee. You could even offer to pay for a limited home warranty that covers HVAC systems and some appliances for a specific time period. If the buyer wants to sell their home first, be sure that the purchase agreement includes a contingency-release clause in case another buyer comes along who can purchase sooner. And finally, work with a real estate agent or Realtor to help you get the best deal you can get for your home.
