In the rolling three-month period ending mid-Q3, about 45% of home sales nationwide included a seller concession\u2014the highest mid-Q3 share since at least 2020. That\u2019s up from 43% a year ago, and it speaks volumes about how rising inventory and lighter competition are giving buyers more leverage at the table.<\/p>\n<p>Seller concessions aren\u2019t just about dropping the price. They often include help with repairs, closing costs, or even mortgage-rate buydowns\u2014giving buyers several ways to ease the upfront cost of their move. In fact, about 16% of homes sold nationally in mid-Q3 included both a price reduction and a concession, making it possible for buyers to find a better fit for their budget.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re navigating the current market\u2014whether it\u2019s your first home, a step up, or a downsize\u2014know that the landscape is more flexible than it\u2019s been in a while. As someone who\u2019s guided folks through every kind of move in Shelby and Jefferson Counties, I can say that understanding these evolving options can make all the difference.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lately, I\u2019ve noticed a big shift in how sellers are negotiating here and across the US.
