Home Buyers Have More Negotiating Power Right Now
Home buyers may have more negotiating power right now than they realize. With more sellers competing for buyers, some homeowners are becoming more flexible on price, closing costs, repairs, and other terms. That doesn’t mean every seller will negotiate, but it can create opportunities for buyers who know where to look.

Buyers, do you realize how much pull you have right now? It’s probably more than you think. Here’s why. There are far more sellers in the market than buyers right now. Which means a lot of sellers know they’ll have to give a little to get their house sold.
Maybe that looks like compromising on the price. Maybe it's helping with closing costs.
Or maybe agreeing to repairs they might've pushed back on a few years ago. Basically, while affordability can still be challenging, you have more opportunities to negotiate around it.
But exactly how much wiggle room you have will vary depending on where you’re looking.
If you want to know where sellers are most willing to negotiate in our market, reach out to The Kombrink Team and let’s find where you have the advantage.
