It would be helpful to review the contingencies list. The fewer clauses you have there, the more attractive your offer seems to the seller. However, it’s recommended not to remove home inspection. This means the seller won’t be liable for any uncovered issues with the house, and you’ll have to pay for the repairs on your own. Showing your intentions by making a large, good faith deposit and down payment will usually convince the owner of your commitment. This may finally tilt the balance toward your proposal. Negotiating the price is a very stressful period in a home-buying process. You’re not quite sure what the results will be, or exactly how much money you’ll spend. In any case, keep in mind that the owner is interested in selling his home, and you’re willing to buy it. With a little time and a little effort, you’ll be able to do it! • • •
