You’ve probably heard there are more homes hitting the market right now. While that can vary by location, overall, things are shifting toward a more balanced playing field—and that can work in your favor. Some sellers are more open to compromise, which means you may have more negotiating power than you think.

That could translate into savings, extra perks, or better terms on your purchase—if you know which levers to pull. That’s where I come in.

Why Negotiation Matters More Right Now

With more inventory, buyers like you are gaining a bit more leverage. But making the most of it requires a smart strategy. I’m here to guide you through that process—so you can walk away with a deal that truly works in your favor.

What Buyers Are Negotiating in Today’s Market

Here are a few key areas where we may be able to negotiate:

• Purchase Price
  If a home is priced too high or has been sitting on the market, there might be room for a price adjustment.

• Closing Costs
  We can ask the seller to help cover some of your closing costs, which can reduce the amount of cash you need up front.

• Home Warranty
  Sellers will sometimes cover the cost of a home warranty for the first year, giving you peace of mind about unexpected repairs.

• Repairs After Inspection
  Depending on what comes up in the inspection, we can negotiate for repairs to be completed—or ask for money back to handle them yourself.

• Appliances and Fixtures
  Want the washer, dryer, or that stainless steel fridge to stay? We can include those items in our offer.

• Closing Date
  Need more time before moving—or hoping to close quickly? We’ll work to find a timeline that suits your needs (and the seller’s).

Not Everything Is Negotiable—But That’s Why I’m Here

The reality is, every seller and situation is different. Not all concessions will be possible, and pushing too hard on the wrong terms could risk losing the deal. That’s why having an experienced agent matters—I’ll help you know what’s reasonable to ask and how to approach it strategically.

Bottom Line

As inventory grows, you’ve got a little more leverage as a buyer—and that’s where I come in. I’ll help you navigate negotiations with confidence so you can get the best possible outcome in today’s market.
