Are San Diego Home Prices Flexible?

The asking price is not always the price a seller will accept.

One of the biggest clues that a home’s price may be flexible is how long it has been on the market.

A price reduction, a previously canceled sale, a vacant property, needed repairs, or a seller facing a deadline can also create an opportunity to negotiate.

The Asking Price Is Only the Starting Point

Buyers often assume that a seller will not negotiate unless the listing says “motivated seller.” That is not always true.

Some of the strongest clues include:

• The home has been listed longer than competing properties.
• The seller has already reduced the price.
• A previous buyer canceled or failed to close.
• The property is vacant or needs repairs.
• The seller may have a relocation or purchase deadline.
• Nearby homes provide stronger value at similar prices.

Sometimes the best opportunity is not the home with the lowest asking price. It is the home where the seller has a reason to make a deal.

Thinking About Downsizing?

The first question is usually not, “What can I sell my current home for?” It is, “Where would I go?”
