In my opinion, you haggle with a car dealer, but you negotiate with a home seller.
"Haggling is about offering your product for a reduced margin – you're simply making price concessions until the buyer says yes. Negotiation, on the other hand, is about getting something of equal or higher value in return for any concessions you make."
I don't have an issue with negotiating to buy a preowned house, but I think car dealers are taking advantage of people who just want to buy a car at a fair price, and to not pay more than another customer. To do that, dealers tell a lot of lies. The first one they tell is that the "invoice" they provide is their actual cost for the vehicle.
