Newton: 5 Tips for Buying in a Seller's Market

It's no secret that Newton is a perennial seller's market. To get the keys, you need a plan that goes beyond just 'offering more money.'

The Buyer's Playbook

1. Pre-Approval is Baseline: You need a local lender who can pick up the phone when the listing agent calls.
2. Look for 'Stale' Listings: If a home has been on the market for 21+ days in Newton, there's an opportunity to negotiate.
3. Flexible Closing: Offer the seller a 'Use and Occupancy' agreement if they need more time to find their next home.
4. The Inspection Limit: Use a 'Repair Threshold' (e.g., $10k) to show you won't nickel-and-dime the seller.
5. Work with an Insider: Many Newton deals happen off-market.
