Decide what you can comfortably pay and which protections you need before you write. Then find out what matters to the seller. A closing date that fits their move or a lender who can meet the deadline may help. Get preapproved and use comparable sales to set your ceiling. Before shortening or waiving a contingency, understand what it could cost you if the inspection, appraisal, or financing goes sideways. Give yourself permission to walk away if the price or risk goes too far.
