Recently, we\u2019ve seen seller concessions reach a new US peak\u2014about 45% of home sales in the rolling 3-month period ending Mid-Q3 included some form of seller concession, the highest share for this time frame since at least 2020. This number climbed from roughly 43% just a year ago, reflecting how increased inventory and softer competition have shifted the leverage a bit more toward buyers.<\/p>\n<p>Concessions aren\u2019t just about lowering the price. They\u2019ve increasingly included help with repairs, credits for closing costs, and even mortgage-rate buydowns, all of which can make entering the market more manageable for buyers. Around 16% of homes sold in Mid-Q3 combined a price reduction with a seller concession\u2014another valuable way to reduce upfront costs.<\/p>\n<p>For those navigating their next move, understanding these shifts can make a real difference in negotiations and finding the right deal structure. My approach is always to keep your needs front and center, ensuring you have every advantage possible in this evolving landscape.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As someone deeply committed to guiding clients through every phase of the Santa Monica real estate market, I pay close attention to trends that could impact your buying or selling experience.
