Good news for homebuyers! 🏡 While mortgage rates are still hovering around the 7% mark, the tides are shifting in favor of buyers when it comes to negotiations. Recent data shows that homes are closing at an average of 95% of their list price, meaning sellers are much more willing to negotiate than they have been in years. With single-family housing inventory stabilizing and more room to negotiate seller concessions or rate buydowns, you have more leverage to find a payment strategy that works for your budget. If you've been waiting for the right moment to get back into the market, it might be time to start exploring your options! 📈✨
