One thing I always want buyers to know? The asking price is only one part of the conversation.

Depending on the home and the seller, there may be opportunities to negotiate closing costs or explore a temporary rate buydown, too.

If a move is on your mind before the end of the year, it's a good time to get your financing plan in place.

Between gifts, travel, family plans, and all the extra expenses that seem to just show up, it's worth looking at your full monthly cash flow before the holiday spending begins.

Lowering the price isn’t the only way to make a home more appealing to buyers.

In today’s market, seller concessions can help cover eligible closing costs or contribute toward a mortgage rate buydown. That may give buyers more flexibility with their upfront costs or monthly payment, while helping sellers keep the conversation focused on the overall value of the home.

A temporary buydown, for example, can lower a buyer’s initial mortgage payment for a set period. It’s one option that may help make the numbers feel more comfortable without changing the home’s purchase price.

A mortgage rate buydown can make early monthly payments more manageable. A temporary buydown reduces the buyer’s effective interest rate for a limited time.

"Home sellers gave concessions to buyers in 44.7% of U.S. home sales in August," according to a recent article from Redfin.

If you've found a home you love, don't assume the asking price is the only number you can negotiate. Take a closer look at the whole deal.

Seller concessions could potentially help with closing costs, certain repairs, or even a mortgage rate buydown, depending on the loan and the transaction.

If you’re looking at homes and want to understand what your options could look like, let’s talk through the numbers.
