SEATTLE, April 21, 2025 — In a notable trend within the real estate market, 44.4% of home sellers in the United States offered concessions to buyers during the first quarter of this year. This figure marks an increase from 39.3% in the same period last year, indicating a growing willingness among sellers to negotiate and provide incentives.
The current percentage of concessions is approaching the record high of 45.1% observed at the beginning of 2023. Such concessions may include covering closing costs, offering home warranties, or even reducing the sale price to facilitate a smoother transaction.
This shift reflects the evolving dynamics of the housing market, where buyers are increasingly seeking favorable terms amid fluctuating interest rates and economic uncertainties. As competition remains fierce among buyers, sellers appear to be adapting their strategies to attract potential purchasers, suggesting a more buyer-friendly market environment.
