Help negotiating with Seller after inspection in a 'hot market'

[Dolores Waldron]

Hi,

I am in the Boston area of MA where property is VERY hot and a lot of it going for over asking.

Buyers waive all sorts of contingencies to try and get the property,  they have a lot of cash and can pay over asking.

We recently put an offer in on a 2 family and it got accepted (still in shock) - we offered market value for the property so no steal there.

I'm just curious when we do our home inspection and if there are some issues that come up - what is it like to bargain with the seller in this 'hot market'  to fix / give credit for any of these issues.

Anyone experience this in the MA area?

Thanks for your time.

Dolores
