If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to buy a home in the Phoenix area, we’ve got some exciting news — the market is moving in your favor. More and more segments of the Valley are transitioning from a balanced market to a buyer’s market, giving buyers increased negotiating power and more opportunities to land a great deal.
We just helped one of our clients do exactly that in the beautiful gated community of Crescent Hills in North Phoenix — and the results speak for themselves.
From $625,000 to $585,000 — and So Much More
Originally listed at $625,000, this stunning single-level home on a cul-de-sac lot with mountain views was negotiated down $40,000 to a final sales price of $585,000. But the wins didn’t stop there.
We negotiated an additional $14,500 in seller-paid closing costs, which our buyer used to buy down their interest rate, significantly lowering their monthly payment. On top of that, we successfully secured a brand-new roof to be installed at closing — a major value add and peace of mind for our buyers.
And here’s the cherry on top: we also negotiated for the seller to pay the full buyer broker compensation, saving our client even more out-of-pocket.
This was a huge victory for our buyers — the kind that’s becoming more possible in today’s shifting market.
