Many of the characteristics they identified in homes that sold for a large discount were exactly what you would expect, but it’s great to see some hard data to support your gut instinct when it comes to negotiating a good price on the largest purchase of your life.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Here’s their seven tips on where to look for a seller that’s seriously ready to negotiate, and who to avoid:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Focus on Listings Unsold After 90+ Days<\/li>\n
- Focus on Fixer-Uppers<\/li>\n
- Back Off on Remodels<\/li>\n
- Don’t Be Put Off by a Price Reduction<\/li>\n
- Look for Homes Owned a Long Time<\/li>\n
- But Don\u2019t be Put off by Flips Either<\/li>\n
- Don\u2019t Expect Banks to Negotiate Much<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Sound, data-driven advice for anyone looking to drive a hard bargain in today’s so-called “buyer’s market.” Check out the full report here<\/a> (pdf).<\/p>\n
Next up is a survey from Zillow that (like Zillow itself) is more entertaining than particularly useful, but is still worth a look. The results of their Q2 Homeowner Confidence Survey<\/a> of 1,367 U.S. Homeowners showed that:<\/p>\n
Nearly two out of three homeowners (62%) believe their home’s value has increased or stayed the same over the past year; however, the reality is that 77% of U.S. homes have declined in value.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
They also blogged the announcement of their survey results here<\/a>. Another amusing tidbit from the survey results:<\/p>\n
Three out of four (75%) homeowners expect their home\u2019s value will increase or stabilize in the coming 6 months. However, when asked about their local market, 42% think home values in their locality will decrease (compared to the 25% who think this about their own home).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nClick to enlarge<\/a><\/p>\nSo at least 39% of the people are delusional about the value of their own home over the past year, but only 17% are delusional when it comes to the value of their home in the coming year. Hey, at least it seems to show a slight trend toward recognizing reality.<\/p>\n
