As a new buyer myself, this is a great time to buy. Prices are generally down from last year and this is the right time of season to buy. You can find sold prices (e.g. Sold in the last 90 days) of MLS listings on Zillow for comps. Online county records for all purchases, including VLS.

Also, get a home insurance quote. If you are equipped with data you improve your negotiating position. We bought through a Village realtor and they are friendly and reasonable. You need to be assertive though, and ask for what you think is fair. Good luck
