In real estate, practically everything is open to negotiation. The price a home is listed for and the price it ultimately sells for differ typically. How much opportunity for negotiation there is will depend on how saturated the market is right now. If you're on the buyer's side, you can anticipate that the house will be more affordable if there is less demand than supply. On the other hand, if you're the seller, you should anticipate it to sell for less frequently. Having said that, you never know who else is looking for a home. At times, buyers will suddenly appear and provide the exact asking price.
