If You’re Buying

There are more choices and more opportunities to negotiate price, seller credits, repairs and financing.

Waiting for lower mortgage rates sounds good. But if rates fall enough to get buyers excited again, more competition could return with them.

The better question isn't: “Will rates drop?”
It's: “What can I negotiate on a home today?”

In the right situation — potentially a lot.

If You’re Selling

Home values remain strong and detached homes are still moving quickly.

But buyers are more selective. Pricing and positioning matter more now.

Before deciding whether to sell, find out two numbers:

1. What could your home sell for?
2. How much would you actually walk away with?

Why Act Now?

Buyers: You may have more negotiating leverage before lower rates bring more buyers back.

Sellers: Prices remain strong, but today's buyers reward homes that are positioned correctly.

Moving up or downsizing? You may not need to sell first. Ask about the Home Trade-In Program.
