President's Day weekend sales can be a great opportunity to improve the value of your home if you're smart.
Smart Deals you should pursue include:
-Furniture
-Appliances
-Paint
-Mattresses
Any summer related products, (patio furniture, grills, garden equipment) will be significantly more affordable after August so if you can wait until the offseason, do it.

Being the highest bidder does not guarantee you will win the home. With many offers on the table, the sellers may often look at other factors.
This requires a better understanding of the seller. If the seller is an investor then they probably don't care much about why you want the home.
However, a family selling a home may find ease in knowing another family will use the home to grow their young family. Communicate honestly with the seller about who you are and what your vision is for the home. It may help you win them over!

Buying a home can be a stressful process so it's important to have a good team to support you.
If a seller ever rejects your bid for a higher one, don't give up. End things well with the listing agent and make it clear you want to remain in the loop.
If/when the first offer falls through, the listing agent will return to the next attractive offer and buyer. You.

Did you not win the last house you put an offer on, despite it being one of the higher offers?
Your offer may have included too many contingencies, like stating that your home must sell before you would purchase the seller's house.
Or you may have negotiated too heavily for large concessions, like asking the seller to cover all closing costs.

Not getting pre-approved for a mortgage is one of the fastest ways to blow up a deal.
Why? Not having your financing in place to cover the first down payment and closing costs will make sellers uneasy.
When you are ready to put an offer on a house, ensure your pre-approval is within 30 days. You should also avoid making other big purchases that can impact your ability to get financing, like buying a new car.

Myth: The highest offer will always win the home
If you’re not flexible on the seller's timeline, your higher offer may not mean much.
If the sellers need more than 30 days to move out, the pressure to move out sooner can be a turnoff.
Or if the sellers have already vacated the home, they will likely be eager to sell it quickly!
