How insights can help you

Interest rate

If the seller has a low interest rate, they may be tempted to rent the property out if they can't get the price they have in mind.

Motivation

If the seller already got a job in a different city, they may feel pressure to sell quickly to free up cash for a new home.

Equity

If the seller stands to receive a large amount of cash when they sell the property, they might be willing to negotiate on the offer price.
