Home improvement can consist of projects that upgrade an existing home interior (such as electrical and plumbing), the exterior (masonry, concrete, siding, roofing), or other improvements to the property (i.e. garden work or garage maintenance/additions).

𝗡𝗲𝗴𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝘀 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 ⁣ ⁣ Here's a shift worth notic 𝗡𝗲𝗴𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝘀 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸 ⁣
⁣
Here's a shift worth noticing if you're buying: negotiation is a normal part of the process again.⁣
⁣
Nearly half of sellers -  46% in May -  gave buyers some form of concession, a record for that month. Price reductions are far more common than they were during the frenzy.⁣
⁣
For buyers, that's not a warning sign. A reduced price is often an invitation to look closer, not a reason to stay away. Inspections, repairs, closing costs, timing -  these are conversations again, not sacrifices you make to win a bidding war.⁣
⁣
One honest caveat: more negotiation doesn't mean buyers control every market. A well-priced home in a tight area can still move fast. But the list price is no longer the whole conversation.⁣
