So this house in El Dorado Hills is listed for sale at $815,000. The mortgage payment (P&I only) would be about $4,100/month. Here’s an idea: rather than trying to convince the seller to accept a lower price, negotiate a “rate buydown” instead. What this means is the seller helps pay some money up front to lower the interest rate on the buyer's mortgage. Of course every situation is different, but it can shave hundreds of dollars a month off of your monthly payment.

Let’s say the seller agreed in theory to a $15,000 price reduction. Instead of $815,000 they’re willing to accept $800,000. If you use that $15,000 to “buy down the rate” instead of the purchase price, it could potentially lower your mortgage payment by almost $400 a month. That’s huge!

Let me know if you guys have any questions, I'd be happy to refer you to some amazing mortgage lenders who can help you with the specifics!
