Nearly 40% of potential sellers say they're planning to offer concessions this year – up from 30% in 2025.

That increase means you could see more flexibility on things like sellers covering your closing costs, adjusting the price, or making repairs. But what’s worth asking for and what’s a long shot will vary depending on where you’re looking. That’s where I can help. Let's talk about what concessions make sense in our market. Because, for buyers, the right ask could save you thousands.

🎉 JUST SOLD | My buyers, empty nesters from northern Kentucky, are ready to trade cold winters for sunshine, palm trees, and a lifestyle they've been envisioning for years. While they're still working, they wanted to establish their future home now and begin building the life they've always imagined in Florida as they prepare for retirement.

Their excitement is contagious, and I'm incredibly grateful to have helped make this long-term dream a reality.

👀 80% of homeowners still expect to get their asking price or more when they sell.

But right now, only about 40% actually do.

That might sound surprising, but it’s not. It’s normal. The issue is where those outdating pricing expectations are coming from. Some sellers are still pricing high just to “see what happens.” And that strategy doesn’t work now that inventory has grown. When a house is priced above where it should be today, buyers don’t negotiate. They move on to other options. That’s when homes sit, and sellers have to slash prices – sometimes below what they could’ve gotten if they’d just priced right from the start. That’s why the sellers getting the best results right now are doing something different. They’re pricing at (or even slightly below) market value from day 1. Because that’s what creates demand early and puts you in a position to sell faster… and potentially for more.

Don’t price based on the past.
Price for today’s market.

If you want to be part of the forty percent with a winning strategy, let’s connect. Jackie Griese @ 941.718.0045

JUST SOLD! 🎉 After years of imagining what life in Florida could look like, my buyers from Missouri are officially making the move!

As healthy, active retirees, they had always dreamed of living in the Sunshine State, but it wasn't until their daughter and her family relocated here that the possibility became a plan. Three years later, they're packing up, selling their home, and preparing to enjoy Florida full-time.

I'm honored to have been part of such an important life decision and grateful for the trust they placed in me throughout the journey. Congratulations on this exciting new chapter!

💰 You've probably heard that mortgage debt in America just hit an all-time high. And that's true. But here's what the headline leaves out.

Equity is also near an all-time high. And at $34.1 trillion, it's more than double the $14.4 trillion in debt. That's a good thing. It means most homeowners own far more than they owe. So, they have a real financial cushion right now. That’s something homeowners didn’t have during the crash of 2008. Back then, people owed more than their homes were worth. Today, it’s just the opposite. Homeowners are in a much better position, and the housing market is on stronger footing than the headlines suggest.
