With more homes for sale and buyers regaining some negotiation power, it may be a good idea to offer a concession if you’re trying to sell. Data shows 1 in 4 sellers did in 2024.

Giving your buyer money toward closing costs or adjusting the price for repairs could be what allows you to flip that sign in your yard from “for sale” to “sold”.

Just be sure you have an agent on your side to walk you through what levers are worth pulling in your local market.

What’s a concession you’d be open to offering to get your house sold?

How would having a fixed housing payment change the way you budget for the future?

Data shows the asking price for fixer-uppers is typically 29% less than you’d see for move-in-ready options. And, they give you the chance to build equity fast as you make updates.
