Buying or selling a home is a big deal,
and the emotions and decisions that
come with it can be overwhelming. The
price tag often feels like a huge leap
compared to our regular spending habits,
and that’s where things can get tricky. It’s
easy to fixate on relatively small amounts
of money after an inspection or offer
negotiation, but those amounts may not
be as significant in the long run—
especially when you’re looking at the
bigger picture of a home you truly want.
THE PRICE OF PERFECTION
When it comes to negotiations, it’s
important to balance your desires with the
realities of the market. While it’s natural to
want the best possible deal, being too
rigid can cost you more than you might
think.
CONSIDER THESE:
- The Long-Term Perspective: Is a few thousand dollars worth losing a home you truly love?
- The Time Factor: Closing a deal sooner can save you time and stress.
- The Market Reality: NWA’s competitive market means fewer “good deals.”
A BALANCED APPROACH
I believe a reasonable compromise, like 2-
3% of the purchase price, can lead to a
successful transaction. Remember, both
parties need to agree, so be open to
finding common ground.
