Most South Shore buyers focus on negotiating the list price and miss finding leverage in other areas.
Meanwhile, the levers that can save you the most don't touch the list price at all.
Ask the seller to buy down your rate. This can save you tens of thousands over the life of the loan.
Then there's the repair credits. Instead of going back and forth over who fixes what, ask for a credit at closing.
You keep the money, choose your own contractor, and what it looks like when it's finished.
Don't forget to ask what stays with the home. Appliances, furniture, window treatments, these are all negotiable. (And that's money you don't have to go spend later).
And most importantly: talk to more than one lender. I've seen the same buyer get wildly different rates just by making two extra phone calls.
4 Ways To Give Your Offer an Edge This Spring 🌸🏡
Buyers have more options right now… but don’t get it twisted, the good homes still get attention. If you find one you actually love, you need a plan. Here’s how to stay competitive without overcomplicating it:
1️⃣ Come in strong (not reckless)
Lowballing isn’t the move on a well-priced home.
Make an offer that actually reflects the market so sellers take you seriously.
2️⃣ Be ready for competition
Multiple offers still happen, especially in popular areas.
Things like escalation clauses can help, just know your limit and stick to it.
3️⃣ Keep it clean
It’s not always about the highest price.
Fewer contingencies and a simple offer can win.
4️⃣ Be flexible where it counts
Sometimes it’s not about money.
If the seller needs time or a quick close, being flexible can put you ahead.
At the end of the day, strategy > guessing.
