POV: You Get a Deal

You Get a DealPOV: You get a discount on the home that's been sitting on the market! Here's how to keep the seller happy, secure the house & see meaningful savings:

Instead of going low, offer full price with seller concessions to lower your rate, then watch the savings add up.

Here's an example:

- List price = $550,000
- Instead of offering $535,000...
- Offer $550,000 with $15,000 in seller concessions
- That $15,000 = ~3 mortgage points, lowering your rate from 7.00% → ~6.25%
- Monthly payment drops from $3,657 → $3,471

Savings = $2,232 per year and $66k+ over 30 years

Note – This calculation assumes a 20% down payment. This strategy works best if you plan to stay in your home long term, since the interest savings stack over time.
