More good news for home buyers: A new survey from Realtor.com found that sellers are offering more concessions to lure buyers into signing contracts.
The survey, which dubbed that ‘bargaining power is back’, looked at 3,001 responses, including 449 from those who sold their home within the last 12 months. According to Realtor.com, 92% of home sellers who sold within the last year had accepted some buyer-friendly terms. 41% had accepted some contingencies in the contract.
