One interesting aspect is the negotiation process. For example, in a deal, the buyer might try to find flaws in the property to lower the price. Sellers, on the other hand, may highlight the unique features. Another aspect is the market conditions. If it's a buyer's market, the buyer has more power. In a seller's market, it's the opposite.
