There are many different items that can be negotiated when buying a home in Delaware or any other state. For instance, it may be possible for a buyer to ask a seller to contribute to the closing costs. Generally speaking, closing costs equal up to 5 percent of the cost of the home. These costs can be covered upfront or provided to a buyer in the form of a credit.
Negotiating the terms of a home purchase
Housing market likely to calm down for buyers
Increasing home prices have allowed current homeowners in Delaware and throughout the country to accumulate new wealth. However, for those who were looking to buy their first homes, the rapid appreciation was pricing them out of the market. Recently, increasing mortgage rates have played a key role in making homes more affordable. As market conditions cool, buyers have been able to avoid bidding wars or ask that sellers pay closing costs.
