That\u2019s up from roughly 43% a year ago, giving buyers a bit more leverage as inventory rises and competition cools. Concessions aren\u2019t just about lowering the price\u2014many sellers are stepping up with repair credits, help with closing costs, or even mortgage-rate buydowns. These flexible options can make a big difference for buyers working to keep upfront costs manageable.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, about 16% of homes sold in Mid-Q3 combined a price reduction with a concession, offering yet another way to ease your entry into homeownership. In North Georgia, I\u2019ve seen how these creative negotiations can open doors for clients\u2014whether you\u2019re looking for a cozy cabin retreat or your next full-time home.
