Many factors can cause a delay in the closing process.

Is it OK to add an addition on to my home during today's economy? Yes, but keep in mind that you do not want to overimprove for your neighborhood. Be prepared if you want to add on to your home but the value of your home will be higher than other homes in your neighborhood. If this happens, you will not get the value out of your home that you spent on the addition.
How much should I plan to negotiate when buying or selling a home? The average you should plan to negotiate is 3-5%. Keep in mind where the market is in your area. Home sellers need to make sure that their home is priced at a relevant price for today's market. Home sellers can also pretend to be a home buyer when pricing and preparing their home for sale. Take steps to prepare and price your home in this manner and you might avoid many issues or disappointments later.
