Buy a house that is located well and that you like. Don't buy something that doesn't fit your needs simply because someone tells you "it's a steal!".
If you love the home and feel comfortable with the payments then negotiate.
Don't degrade the home. You will be degrading the family and they will not want to sell to you. Simply tell them what you are willing to pay along with all the other details (closing date, possession, who will pay what costs, etc).
If it is a vacant home the seller will love a quick closing and give you a better price. Have written proof that you can qualify for the loan.
Use a Realtor and try not to talk directly with the seller because you can easily say the wrong thing or make a promise you didn't mean to.

There are lots of books in the library on this one. The fundamental approach... is that you cannot negotiate successfully, unless you are willing to talk away from the deal if you don't get a satisfactory outcome. If you are, then consider what benefits you can offer the other side, that are valuable to them, but don't cost you much. Early closing, easy deal, you're a nice person, you don't have conditions, you'll clean the basement yourself, etc...... If the only issues are the price, you have little to negotiate. But... you'll find there are many other considerations that may have value to the seller.

Why do you ask this vague question here every few days? If you aren't getting the answers you want, how about narrowing the criteria a bit? Negotiating for WHAT would be a start.

In language you might understand, A tribal chief is selling a ceremonial spear and wants 2 monkeys for it. You have only 1 monkey and a lions paw. You agree to trade instead for 1 home made basket full of bananas and a Malcolm X t shirt. What you have done is gave him something he wanted that was more affordable to you, in exchange for what you want in such a way that he wasn't as fixated on original price. Thats negotiation in a nutshell. What they think they want, done your way. Exchanging items of equal desirability for an object.

know what you want, when you want it, where you want it, what its worth, what you'll pay for it, what they want, why they want it, what they will settle for, what they've been offered.
