Just because we are in a recession it doesn't mean that every house for sale is a bargain. Even when the sign says "foreclosure" or "Short sale" it doesn't mean that you are automatically getting a bargain. It is up to you to decide whether not only the house itself is right for you but also the price. There are a few things you can do to give yourself an edge to make sure that you are getting the right home for you at the right price.

Just because we are in a recession it doesn't mean that every house for sale is a bargain. Even when the sign says "foreclosure" or "Short sale" it doesn't mean that you are automatically getting a bargain. It is up to you to decide whether not only the house itself is right for you but also the price. There are a few things you can do to give yourself an edge to make sure that you are getting the right home for you at the right price.
When you are trying to sell a house, no matter if it is one that has been foreclosed on or not, you want to get as much money as possible for it. Houses are a one sale item, you own a house you can only sell it one time. This means that people list for as high as they possibly can and hope to get somewhere near that amount. While being in a recession may be making it more difficult to get a loan it still doesn't mean you have to over pay.
Although it is hard to contain your excitement, it can really hurt your negotiation strategy if you are overly attached to the home before it's yours. It is important to really like the home that you are choosing, however it is also important not to show your cards too early in the game.
With the economy the way it is you could well be living in this home for a long time so it is a good idea to be sure that the house suits your needs not just now but for the future.
Another point to remember is that just because a property is listed as a foreclosure or a short sale does not mean that it is a good deal. Not every distressed property is priced competitively, so make sure that you don't buy a property without doing your full research and market analysis. A good real estate agent can help you with this process.
