New home construction today is giving buyers something it feels like they haven't gotten much lately: a real shot at both the home they want and the deal they need.

On a good day!

If you are wondering why 90% of consumers CHOOSE to use a real estate agent instead of "doing it on their own," try to do a few of your own deals abd you will find out real quick why 87% of agents fail in the first few years of their career.

It's not because they don't want to work or aren't talented enough. Truth is, it's not easy.

A great agent is worth their weight in gold.

And, even if we go from 90% to 50% of consumers who use agents, it doesnt matter.

In a world of greater technology and options for consumers, great agents will become even more valuable.

Real estate agents will always be in demand.

A lot of buyers think they’ll get a better deal by waiting..

Waiting for prices to drop.
Waiting for rates to fall.
Waiting for the “perfect” time.

But they’re completely missing what’s actually happening right now in some markets:

Sellers are literally giving away money.

Covering closing costs
Helping with rate reductions
Offering credits for repairs

That kind of leverage didn’t exist two years ago.
It might not exist six months from now.
But it’s on the table right now for buyers who are ready.

If you’re prepared, this could be the most negotiable market we’ve seen in a long time. The key is knowing what to ask for and having the right team behind you.
