SELLERS:

With interest rates at a 10-month high, consider offering buyers an incentive - buy down their mortgage rate and they'll be happy as a clam! If you're using a realtor, ask them for to contact a trusted mortgage lender and get a quote for several different buydown options. If your braving this depreciatin market alone, then contact a trusted mortgage lender (if you have one) and ask for buydown quotes. Remember, realtors have tried-and-true referral lists for just these types of things...

It's a terrific way to get an edge in a market saturated with competition. However, it will not substitute for ENERGY-PRICING, i.e. pricing your home to sell and not just being an "MLS super-star".

best of luck...Rich C
