Homebuyers Can Negotiate These Items To Help Cut Costs at Closing
Briefly

Homebuyers can negotiate key items during the purchasing process to save money. Repairs found in a home inspection can be a point of negotiation with the seller. Closing costs, determining who pays them, are also negotiable. The closing date can be adjusted for mutual convenience, with various time options available. Additionally, items inside the home such as appliances and furniture may be included in negotiations, although they might come at an additional cost. Understanding these negotiable elements can ease the homebuying process and save buyers money.
"Most things in buying a home are negotiable. Repairs are negotiable, which is why I always recommend a home inspection for every purchase. Doing a home inspection that costs generally about $300, can find repairs that can be used for the seller to fix that can cost thousands of dollars, which saves the buyer."
"Negotiating the length of closing can help people give themselves more time to appropriately move out of their current place (pack, clean, etc.) and make the process a lot less stressful."
