What This Means for Sellers

The market still works for sellers,but pricing,and presentation matter more than ever. Three habits separate good results from long market times:

• Price right from day one. Realistic pricing still gets homes under contract quickly. Overpriced homes sit longer,and may sell for less..
• Offer a credit or buydown. Rate aware buyers compare payments carefully,and homes with seller help outsell homes without..
• List early in September. The first two weeks capture the last serious buyer wave before the holidays..

What This Means for Buyers

Rates near 6.7 percent make payment structure the whole game. Four moves help most:

• Ask about a buydown. Sellers or builders can pay upfront to lower your rate for two years. That can save hundreds each month..
• Use seller credits. Michigan sellers can contribute up to 3 percent toward closing costs on conventional loans,andup to 6 percent on FHA..
• Compare new construction. Builders in Linden,and Tyrone Township often pair incentives with pricing,including closing help..
• Get pre approved now. Locking in a rate when you offer gives you certainty,. A local lender can model buydowns before you tour homes..
