That\u2019s even up from 43% last year, signaling that buyers are finding more room to negotiate as inventory grows and competition thins out. Concessions aren\u2019t limited to just price cuts; they come in the form of repair credits, help with closing costs, or mortgage-rate buydowns. These flexible options give buyers several ways to lower their overall purchase costs and reshape how deals are structured.<\/p>\n<p>From my vantage point guiding probate and trust sales in Los Angeles County, I\u2019ve seen that these broader negotiation trends absolutely filter into our niche. Sellers today are more likely to offer closing-cost credits or rate buydowns, not just drop the price\u2014especially when navigating the legal and emotional complexities of an estate sale. In fact, around 16% of homes sold nationally in mid-Q3 included both a price reduction and a concession, giving buyers yet another entry point. For executors, trustees, and administrators, understanding these shifting dynamics can make a real difference in maximizing proceeds while protecting everyone\u2019s interests.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seller concessions have just reached a new high across the US: in the three months leading up to mid-Q3, about 45% of home sales involved sellers offering concessions\u2014the highest share we&#039;ve seen for this period since at least 2020.
