Negotiation Is Back
Here’s a shift worth noticing if you’re buying: negotiation is a normal part of the process again.
Nearly half of sellers - 46% in May - gave buyers some form of concession, a record for that month. Price reductions are far more common than they were during the frenzy.
For buyers, that’s not a warning sign. A reduced price is often an invitation to look closer, not a reason to stay away. Inspections, repairs, closing costs, timing - these are conversations again, not sacrifices you make to win a bidding war.
One honest caveat: more negotiation doesn’t mean buyers control every market. A well-priced home in a tight area can still move fast. But the list price is no longer the whole conversation.
