That home that’s been sitting on the market for a while?
There MAY be an opportunity to negotiate.
And asking for a lower price isn’t your only option.
You may be able to ask the seller to help with some of your closing costs instead.
Here’s what that COULD look like:
Home price: $425,000
Offer: $425,000
Seller concession: 2% = $8,500
Instead of negotiating a lower purchase price, that $8,500 could potentially help cover eligible closing costs.
That could mean keeping more of your own money in the bank after closing.
But these numbers are just an example.
What a seller can contribute and what those funds can be used for will depend on your loan, down payment, and specific situation.
This is just an example, but it's why we look at YOUR numbers and figure out which strategy makes the most sense for you.
Sometimes getting the best deal isn’t just about getting the low price.
