Handling Inspections and Negotiations Sellers, be prepared for buyers requesting repairs or credits post-inspection. While it’s a buyer’s right to request adjustments, sellers have the right to deny unreasonable demands. For instance, requesting a $3,000 price reduction due to minor electrical issues is not justified. Looking Ahead As we approach September, we anticipate a possible relaxation of interest rates, which could spur faster movements in the real estate market. Buyers, be prepared for increased competition. Having the necessary financial tools and support will be crucial in navigating this competitive landscape. Conclusion Stay tuned as we continue to monitor inventory and market trends closely. As we move into August, we’ll have a clearer picture of the market’s direction.
