The Right Strategy Matters!
With affordability continuing to be a challenge for most, making the right offer is crucial. Here's a scenario for you...........
Home is listed for $475k and has been on the market for a while. It appears there may be an opportunity to negotiate with the seller. 9 times out of 10, a lower price is offered, but is that the "best" approach?
👉 Buyer 1 negotiates the price down by $10,000.
✅ Saves about $60/month on their mortgage.
💭 That’s one less trip to Chick-fil-A.
👉 Buyer 2 offers full price but asks for a $10,000 seller credit instead.
✅ Uses that credit to buy down the interest rate.
💥 Now they’re saving $210/month.
💇♀️ Wifey’s getting her hair done a few more times a year.
🏌️ Dad’s squeezing in a few more golf rounds.
💰 Everyone’s winning — including the seller and listing agent.
p.s. It would take a price reduction of close to $35k to equal the same monthly savings provide with option 2!
