Ft. Don't be afraid to ask for seller concessions. Some of the more popular can include: closing cost credits, paying mortgage points, homebuyer warranties and transfer tax rebates.

Mike Moran, chief economist for Wall Street's Daiwa Securities America, Inc., says he's surprised that virtually nobody has challenged the constant drumbeat of negative headlines and TV news warnings of imminent crashes and home price meltdowns.
