In today’s North Texas market, we’re seeing an interesting trend: nearly 45% of US home sales in the rolling three months ending mid-Q3 involved sellers offering concessions—things like repair credits, help with closing costs, or even mortgage-rate buydowns. That’s the highest mid-Q3 share we’ve seen since at least 2020, and it’s up from about 43% one year ago. For buyers, this shift means more flexibility and opportunities to lower the total cost of purchasing a home, beyond simply negotiating the price. Sellers are getting creative—pairing price reductions with concessions in about 16% of homes sold nationally during this period—reshaping the negotiation process and making deals more accessible for families looking to make a move. At Lavin Group Realty, our local expertise and strong negotiation skills help you navigate these evolving options, whether you’re buying or selling throughout Dallas–Fort Worth and North Texas.
