1. You should search the internet for listings, do inquiries and talk with a realtor or real estate agent. Look onto newspapers for more information. Do your homework and research to know the range of prices in the area. With this, you will be able to make reasonable bid in the end.

2. Be organized. Keep in mind that you are not the only bargain hunter. To make sure you have an edge over other buyers, get a pre-approved mortgage. Have an attorney to handle the closing deal and documentation. It also makes sense to line up a home inspector and an insurance agent. These professionals provide valuable information and let a buyer know early on in the process, during the attorney review period, what items might need repair as well as what the home will cost to insure.

3. Keep an aye to motivated sellers because some of them may want to sell their homes quickly. It will give you additional bargaining power in situation like this. Here are a couple of signs that the seller is motivated:

a. The home may have been on the market for several months and has undergone several price reductions.

b. At the showing the home is empty, which suggests the seller has moved and may be holding two mortgages.

4. Know how to best negotiate with the realtor. When houses are being old in a slow pace, many real estate agents are also struggling. In these cases, both agents and firms may be more inclined to knock a percentage point or two off of their commission schedule to get a deal done.

5. It will always make sense to have a title insurance company and have a lawyer do some investigations to make sure that there are no liens and the property can be transferred without the risk. Because the last thing you would want to happen is to absorb those liabilities.
