🏡 FIRST TIME HOMEOWNERS! CONGRATULATIONS! 🎉
There is no better feeling than helping clients purchase their very first home! But what makes this closing even more exciting is just how much they were able to accomplish by taking advantage of today’s buyer’s market.
Here’s what they negotiated:
đź’° $10,000 BELOW asking price!
🔨 Negotiated repairs to be completed by the seller before closing.
đź’µ $18,000 in seller concessions! We strategically used those funds to:
• Pay ALL of their closing costs.
• Buy down their interest rate.
• Set up a temporary rate buydown, giving them an initial interest rate approximately 1.5–2% BELOW today’s prevailing rates!
Let that sink in. They purchased their first home, paid less than the asking price, got repairs negotiated, had their closing costs covered, AND secured a significantly lower initial mortgage payment.
THIS is the opportunity that so many buyers are overlooking!
Everyone is talking about interest rates and affordability, but not enough people are talking about the negotiating power buyers have in today’s market.
First-time homebuyers especially need to understand that you don’t always have to wait for interest rates to drop to make a great move.
You can negotiate a better purchase price, get the seller to contribute toward your closing costs, buy down your rate, and potentially refinance down the road if rates improve.
When the market shifts and competition heats back up, these kinds of opportunities may become much harder to find.
Don’t let the headlines scare you away from an opportunity to build your future!
Congratulations again to my Tiffany & Adam on their first home! It was an absolute pleasure helping you make it happen! 🏡
