In the rolling 3-month period ending Mid-Q3, about 45% of US home sales involved sellers offering concessions\u2014the highest share for this time of year since at least 2020. That\u2019s up from roughly 43% a year ago, reflecting how increased inventory and lighter competition are giving buyers more room to negotiate.<\/p>\n<p>Concessions can look like help with repairs, closing costs, or even mortgage-rate buydowns\u2014options that open up new ways for buyers to manage their total purchase costs, not just rely on price reductions. I\u2019m seeing sellers get creative, often combining closing-cost credits and rate buydowns to make their listings stand out, which is reshaping the negotiation table. Nationally, around 16% of homes sold in Mid-Q3 combined a price cut with a concession, offering buyers even more flexibility on entry costs.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re a first-time homebuyer, an investor, or making a big life transition in Baltimore, understanding how these negotiation trends play out locally can make all the difference. My goal is always to help you navigate these options with clarity so your next move fits your future.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve been paying close attention to the shifting landscape for Baltimore buyers and sellers, and some national trends are worth highlighting.
