To directly quote Louis Cammarosano, general manager of HomeGain, “home buyers and sellers continue to remain apart as to home valuations with the vast majority of home owners thinking their homes are worth more than their agents and the market are telling them.” Based on this it looks like there is still leeway for Home Buyers to negotiate on price, and buyers who offer cash are in a really strong bargaining position. Buyers with loans need to be pre qualified and ready to buy or risk a lower cash offer winning the sale.
