In the rolling three-month period ending mid-Q3, sellers offered concessions in roughly 45% of US home sales\u2014that\u2019s the highest mid-Q3 share we\u2019ve seen since at least 2020. Just a year ago, that share was closer to 43%. This uptick means buyers are finding more leverage, especially with increased inventory and lighter competition.<\/p>\n<p>Seller concessions can take many forms: help with repairs, contributions toward closing costs, or even mortgage-rate buydowns. These options open up new ways for buyers to manage their purchase costs beyond just hoping for a price reduction. I\u2019m seeing more sellers compete by offering closing-cost credits and rate buydowns, not only adjusting their asking prices. This trend is reshaping negotiations and allowing for more flexible deal structures\u2014something I always aim to secure for my clients. Notably, about 16% of homes sold in mid-Q3 combined a price reduction with a concession, offering even more paths to ease the entry process for buyers.<\/p>\n<p>As someone who understands both the emotional and financial weight of these decisions, I believe having access to flexible options is key to a positive experience\u2014whether you\u2019re buying, selling, or both.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my years guiding families through the home buying and selling journey, I\u2019ve witnessed how the negotiation landscape shifts with the market\u2014and right now, those changes are significant.
