Buyers Have More Room To Negotiate Right Now Good news if you're house hunting: the asking price may not be the final word. Right now, about 60% of homes are selling below their original asking price. With budgets stretched thin, a little give on price or terms can take some pressure off your wallet. But how much you can negotiate depends on where you're buying. So, let's chat about what you can ask for in the neighborhoods you're eyeing. #HouseHunting #BuyingPower Susan Adams - Coldwell Banker West - DRE#01994357

Higher mortgage rates are making buyers pay closer attention to one thing: the monthly payment. And builders know it. Right now, 13.8% of new-construction listings are advertising reduced rates, giving some buyers a way to bring that monthly payment down. So, if you're selling near new construction, that's something worth paying attention to. But it doesn't mean you automatically need to match what a builder is offering. Depending on your house, your market, and the buyer, competing could mean negotiating on price, helping with closing costs, offering a rate buydown, or simply doing a better job highlighting what your house offers that a new build doesn't. The point isn't to give more away. It's to know what you're competing against so you can choose the right strategy from the start. If you're planning to sell, let's look at what buyers can get in our area and make sure your house is... #Homebuilders #HomeSellingTips Susan Adams - Coldwell Banker West - DRE#01994357

Does one size ever really fit all? One mortgage rate doesn't either. You may be seeing today’s higher rates and worrying about whether it’s still worth it to buy. Here’s what you need to realize… Mortgage rates differ just like the people who apply for loans. So, the rate you see online isn’t necessarily the one you’d get when you buy. Your real mortgage rate is specific to your individual situation. It can be higher or lower than what you've seen or heard. So, don’t assume the rate in the headlines is your rate. Before you decide you can't buy a home or that you should wait, find out what your real rate is. You'll know what your options are and get a map to what's possible. And a quick conversation with a loan officer is the perfect place to start. #MortgageRates #HomebuyingTips Susan Adams - Coldwell Banker West - DRE#01994357
