Re: bargaining on buying a New House

As mentioned in another post, I have recently bought an apartment. It was a new construction and I tried to bargain. The builder got another offer for the asking price and sold the apartment that I wanted (2nd floor). Later I had to settle for the 1st floor.

I have heard that it is easier to bargain on old apartments than new ones.

Hope this helps.
True. You have to be willing to lose it when you start negotiating.

I've negotiated on a couple of places and got them, and lost a quite a few too. When I saw my current home, I wasn't interested at all at the asking price and told them so. They said that there are loads of people interested, and I need to get back to them quickly. When they called me back a week later I knew there was some room for negotiation It ended up taking 6 months agree on price
