The market is quietly shifting — and buyers may have more leverage than they realize.
More homes are coming to market, asking prices are softening, nearly half of sellers are offering concessions, and big investors are buying less.
Mortgage rates may not be heading back to 3%, but that does not mean there are no smart ways to make a move.
The right strategy can include negotiating seller-paid closing costs, exploring builder incentives, or considering a rate buydown — depending on the home and your financing.
