📰 SF Chronicle Sound Off 🗞️

🤓 The Best Markets Are Everywhere in the Bay Area

With current mortgage interest rates hovering around 6.75%, some listing prices are more negotiable, especially if a home has been sitting on the market for a while.
For example, when a $1,000,000 home isn’t selling, a seller may be open to a lower offer or favorable buyer terms. A $950,000 offer represents a 5% savings—money you lock in for as long as you own the home. Plus, that lower price also means lower property taxes year after year. Don’t be afraid of being the only buyer. The possible potential of negotiating is the 2025 buyer advantage.

🧐 So how do you find these opportunities?

Partner with a skilled local agent and start looking at homes that have been on the market for 30 days or more. Sellers are never required to accept any offer, but if you’re willing to explore, you might find your “best market opportunity” just by walking through many, many homes. Love spending weekends house hunting? This is your moment!

🤩 Where to shop?

Focus on mid-market homes in walkable neighborhoods, near BART, parks, shops, and cities with strong local services.

⭐️ Pro tip:
Don’t forget to have your funds or pre-qualified documents in top shape. Seller’s only want to negotiate with committed buyers.
