Learn the art of negotiation. Don't start out by making an offer that is way less than the asking price, as this will likely turn off the seller. The price you offer should be comparable to recent similar home sales. If there are certain repairs that need to be made, see if you can get the cost of the house reduced accordingly rather than insisting that the seller do the work. Don't put all your eggs in one basket - make sure that you have other homes that you are prepared to make an offer on. If a seller gets wind that this is the only house that you are interested in, they are less likely to budge when it comes to the price.

If a particular neighborhood interests you, take advantage of open houses that come up now and then. This is a good way for you to preview a home at your leisure. You can ask the seller's agent at the open house about the home, nearby schools and the neighborhood, without feeling any pressure.

Before buying a home you should do a check to see how many sex offenders live in the area. The realtor or agent you deal with is not required to do a check for sex offenders so it would be in your best interest to conduct a search on yourown.

You can change almost anything about your house, except where it is located. If location is a big deal to you, you shouldn't sacrifice on the location you want. Other aspects of a home can be fixed over time to your liking, but if you hate where your house is located, you will never be able to fix that.

Be careful when making a low ball offer on a home. If you come in with a price that is too low, then the seller may not take you seriously. The seller may even completely outright reject your offer. So choose your offer price carefully and do your homework prior to making an offer.
