In today’s market, buyers may have more room to negotiate than they realize.

Seller concessions can potentially help cover closing costs, prepaid items, or even discount points — but the limits depend on the loan type and scenario.

• Discoloration indicating leaks

Major Systems

• Water heater condition
• Visible pipes for rust or leaks

Practical Features
• Storage space (closets, pantries, garage)
• Room sizes for your furniture
• Water pressure in sinks/showers
• Windows and doors open/close smoothly

Red Flags to Watch For
• Unusual odors
• Signs of water damage
• Outdated or failing systems

When weighing your options it helps to talk to the right people. The right real estate broker can put you in contact with the correct people. We have lenders that truly give facts and a path to where you desire to be, not push to purchase. If you are in need of being put in contact with such lenders I am happy to help.
