I know that many people like myself are always looking for the best tips when it comes to purchasing a house for the best possible price. What would you say is are the top tips that can help buyers in todays market.

It all starts with your real estate agent.  I really think if you have an awesome agent that they can guide you through your home buying or selling experience.

A lot of house builders at the moment have alot of new builds on thier books that they are really keen to get rid of, some will offer your removal fees for free, heck I even heard of a company giving away 17ft yatchts with each sale!

The top tip, as I have heard, is that when you buy a house,deal directly with the owner.The agent is definitely required but  your final deal must be with the owner alongside the agent.As far as the authenticity of the papers is concerned,your lawyer will be useful.

To me, the best tip is never fall in love with a house; even if you are, pretend you are not in front of the owner or agent.

Another one is that show the seller that you are on the verge of buying another house very soon.Try to create panic for the seller.

Besides the economic fundamentals of the house and macro-economic conditons, the only possible variation is human pscychology - so buyers must act they are not keen to buy and sellers pretending that they do not need the money.
