MAKE AN OFFER
Don’t be afraid. Mortgages are like paying rent, but you’re the landlord. You get the benefits of owning your home and there are many. Your offer should be realistic. First time homebuyer price ranges are already low, therefore before you shoot your own foot make sure you don’t insult the lender or seller that has the property up for sale. Yes it happens, well priced homes go fast, even today. Be fair. Your turn as a seller will come someday and you will also be treated fair. 
 
SELLERS
Be realistic as well. Prices are not what they were, however, your new property will also be at a good price.
 
Renegotiate if necessary if the price is unsatisfactory. Try not to get too emotional.
