NEWSALERT: When buying a home, you can negotiate more than just the price! In 2024, 24% of buyers received concessions from sellers—from closing cost credits to home repairs and even mortgage rate buydowns. These are just a few things that are negotiable:
💸 Mortgage Rates & Fees: Lender fees and interest rates aren’t set in stone. Shopping around and negotiating can save you thousands over the life of your loan.
🔧 Home Repairs: A home inspection contingency lets you request repairs for major issues like a leaky roof or broken water heater—or ask for a credit to cover the costs.
📝 Seller-Paid Closing Costs: Sellers can cover a portion of your closing costs, making your purchase more affordable.
🛋️ Fixtures & Appliances: Items like refrigerators, washers, dryers, and even outdoor furniture can often be negotiated into the deal.
🛡️ Home Warranties: Sellers may pay for a one-year home warranty, covering repairs or replacements for appliances and systems.
