Shopping for a home over the holidays? Good timing. Buyers have more leverage right now than they’ve had in years.
Here’s where you can potentially take advantage:
- Get aggressive with your offer: Some sellers may be more willing to negotiate on price, especially if their home has been sitting for 60, 90, or even 120+ days.
- Ask for concessions: Seller-paid closing costs can help reduce the cash you need upfront.
- Negotiate a rate buydown: Seller contributions could help lower your mortgage payment, either temporarily or permanently.
- Take your time: Less competition can mean more flexibility to explore your options without the pressure of multiple offers.
