For some home buyers the reasons are the continued economic uncertainty and for others it is the lack of a good plan for finding a house at the best possible price. Here are 5 easy steps for doing it now in Princeton.
1. Understand Risk Tolerance
Many New Jersey home buyers do not fully understand their risk tolerance and have difficulty reconciling it with their desire to buy a home. No one who knows for sure what the effect the economy will have on the New Jersey real estate and in particular on the Princeton real estate. If you are a home buyer, who sees an now as an opportunity to buy a house at a discount, you need to think of this purchase as a longer term one. Consider not buying, if you can't tolerate the market uncertainty or do not have financial resources to keep your Princeton home for 3-5 years.
2.Understand Value Preservation
Raising gas prices and continual fall out from the credit problems could effect New Jersey real estate in several ways. It is important to think and consider where the properties have a better chance of preserving value. There houses today Princeton houses selling over the asking price, as Princeton continues to be an attractive option for home buyers.
3.Get Good Advice
I don't mean your friends, relatives or neighbors who are well meaning but do not have the knowledge of the market to spot good buying opportunities. Find a Princeton real estate agent able to match your needs with opportunities in the market.
4.Understand What The Best Possible Price Is
Buying Princeton real estate for the best possible price starts with an understanding what the best price is for each property. The price depends on many factors, including the motivation of the seller, length of time on the market, condition, location and others. There is no formula or one size fits all advice for how to determine the best possible price. Many home buyers think that if the house was on the market for a long time they could buy it for a lesser price. It may or may not be the case. Other home buyers think housing bargains are houses that had many price reductions. Again, it may or may not be so. It may be an indication the home was overpriced from the start or the owners were not motivated. Understanding what the best price is for each house is both art and science. Look for a real estate agent who mastered both.
5.Negotiate Vigorously and Smartly
Negotiating for the best price starts with getting in your mind a clear idea what such price is. Base this idea on market reports and logic, not wishful thinking. After establishing this price in your mind, you can develop negotiating strategy. Every step in the negotiating process, including your first offered price, communicates a message to the seller. Make sure it's the message you want to communicate. Starting on the wrong foot could stop the negotiations before they actually begin. Your realtor should understand the subtleties of negotiation and how to make it work to your advantage. This is an emotional part of the process, and the cool and objective input is invaluable.
