Seller Concessions Are on the Rise

In Q1 2025, home sellers provided concessions — such as closing cost credits or repair allowances — in **44.4% of U.S. transactions**, just shy of the all-time high set in 2023. **Markets with the highest share of concessions:** - Seattle, WA: 71.3% - Portland, OR: 63.9% - Atlanta, GA: 61.5% - San Diego, CA: 60.7% - Denver, CO: 59.2% - Los Angeles, CA: 56.1% - Sacramento, CA: 52.5% - Las Vegas, NV: 51.9% - Riverside, CA: 51.2% - Phoenix, AZ: 51.2% **Our take:** These numbers show the **power shift** happening in real time. - Buyers have **more leverage** now than they’ve had in years. - Sellers need to **price right** and **be flexible** with concessions if they want to close deals. - The all-cash, no-contingency era is on pause — today’s market favors **negotiation and strategy** over frenzy. For agents, educating clients on **realistic expectations** — for both sides — is the path to success in 2025. * * * 📞 **Contact Abdo Pierre Faissal for unparalleled real estate service.** 📧 [email protected] | 📲 310-620-1038 facebook-letter-logo x-logo linkedin-logo pinterest-logo [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fapfreg.com%2F%25f0%259f%25a4%259d-seller-concessions-are-on-the-rise%2F) [X](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapfreg.com%2F%25f0%259f%25a4%259d-seller-concessions-are-on-the-rise%2F&text=%F0%9F%A4%9D+Seller+Concessions+Are+on+the+Rise) [Pinterest](https://pinterest.com/pin/create/link/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fapfreg.com%2F%25f0%259f%25a4%259d-seller-concessions-are-on-the-rise%2F) [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fapfreg.com%2F%25f0%259f%25a4%259d-seller-concessions-are-on-the-rise%2F&title=%F0%9F%A4%9D+Seller+Concessions+Are+on+the+Rise&summary=In+Q1+2025%2C+home+sellers+provided+concessions+%E2%80%94+such+as+closing+cost+credits+or+repair+allowances+%E2%80%94+in+44.4%25+of+U.S.+transactions%2C+just+shy+of+the+all-time+high+set+in+2023.+Markets+with+the+highest+share+of+concessions%3A+Seattle%2C+WA%3A+71.3%25+Portland%2C+OR%3A+63.9%25+Atlanta%2C+GA%3A+61.5%25+San+Diego%2C+CA%3A+60.7%25+Denver%2C+CO%3A+59.2%25+Los+%5B%E2%80%A6%5D)
