In the rolling 3-month period ending Mid-Q3, about 45% of US home sales included concessions\u2014the highest Mid-Q3 level since at least 2020. That\u2019s up from roughly 43% a year ago, which really shows how buyers are finding a bit more wiggle room as inventory rises and competition cools. Concessions can take many forms: help with repairs, assistance on closing costs, or even mortgage-rate buydowns. These options give buyers extra ways to make their move more affordable, beyond just a price cut. More sellers are providing closing-cost credits or rate buydowns now, not just slashing prices, so negotiations are becoming more flexible and creative. Nationally, about 16% of homes sold in Mid-Q3 combined a price reduction with a concession, making homeownership a little more accessible. As someone who truly wants your home journey to feel easy and stress free, I\u2019m always keeping an eye on these trends to help guide you to the best possible outcome.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lately, I\u2019ve seen more sellers offering a helping hand to buyers than ever before.
