In today’s housing market, there are more people who want to buy a home than there are houses available for sale. That’s creating an opportunity for today’s sellers. If you’re looking to make a move this summer, DM me today.

Just imagine spending the holidays in your new home ✨✨✨

Haha but in all seriousness, it has been a great year and I can’t wait to keep crushing it. Ya’ll, there’s 82 days left in 2022. Let’s make them count😍

🏠🤩If you’re thinking about buying a home today, there’s great news. Even though it’s still a sellers’ market, it’s a more moderate sellers’ market than last year. And the days of feeling like you may need to waive contingencies or pay drastically over asking price to get your offer considered is coming to a close.

Today, you should have less competition and more negotiating power as a buyer. So, if bidding wars were the biggest factor that had you sitting on the sidelines, here are two trends that may be just what you need to re-enter the market.

1. The Return of Contingencies
Over the last two years, more buyers were willing to skip important steps in the home buying process, like the appraisal or inspection, to try to win a bidding war. But now, fewer people are waiving the inspection and appraisal.

The latest data from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) shows the percentage of buyers waiving their home inspection and appraisal is declining. And a recent survey from realtor.com confirms more sellers are accepting offers that include these conditions today. According to their August study, 95% of sellers reported buyers requested a home inspection and 67% of sellers negotiated with buyers on repairs as a result of the inspection findings. This goes to show buyers are more able to include these conditions in their offers today and negotiate as needed based on the outcome of the inspection.

2. Sellers Are More Willing To Help with Closing Costs
Before the pandemic, it was a common negotiation tactic for sellers to cover some of the buyer’s closing costs to sweeten the deal. This didn’t happen as much during the peak buyer frenzy over the past two years.

Today, as the market shifts and demand slows, data from realtor.com suggests this is making a comeback. A recent article shows 32% of sellers paid some or all of their buyer’s closing costs.

Negotiations are starting to come back on the table. This is good news if you’re planning to enter the housing market - Shoot me a DM if you’re interested in learning more about the home buying process!
