Shifting home market gives buyers an edge [South Florida]
As he looks for a home to buy, Juan Saiz is finding owners eager to negotiate.
Take an owner of a 1,400-square-foot pool home just west of Coral Gables. The owner had already dropped the asking price by $62,000, asking $588,000 for his remodeled home. But when Saiz came to tour the ranch-style three-bedroom home at an open house, the owner had knocked off another $10,000.
Saiz himself settled for $35,000 less when he recently sold his Coral Gables condo for $390,000.
