FSBO tips tricks. Discussion on low ball offers and suggestions in you want to lower the price.

We have an affordability issue in America today. Higher interest rates will impact buyers' qualifications. Due to higher rates sellers are beginning the "price drops " trend, which sellers use to help attract affordable housing for buyers.
But most sellers don't know or can show the actual numbers on how that impacts buyers. This inability to show the numbers and knowledge of how dropping the rates has a more significant impact on a buyer's payment than lowering a sales price could ever have.
On the right hand side you will see:
Price Drop vs. Rate Drop -
Did you know that instead of Dropping the Purchase Price, you can offer to pay the buyers Rate Buydown. In this illustration I show that instead of lowering the Purchase Price by $15,000 you offer to pay $15,000 towards a Rate Buydown for the buyer. This lowers the payment by $380 a month, instead of $99 that the price reduction caused. You can use this in Marketing as well. It helps those looking as low as $392,000 to purchase a house for $450,000. Bringing many more buyers your way.
Low Ball Offer -
Did you know that a $20,000 Price Reduction on a $450,000 purchase price has the same benefit of the seller paying $4,000 to buy the interest rate down for the buyer? Instead of taking a lower offer or if the appraisal comes in low, this is a great way to hit the payment a buyer is looking for. Benefiting both the buyer (payment) and the (seller) netting the most from their sale.

As you’ve seen from our illustrations, we can create a customized website for you just like the one you are looking at now. We can include video, photos, and customized financing sheets for any potential buyer. You then can use them in your marketing campaigns anywhere you post your listing.

Reviews

"I have worked with a good number of lenders personally and professionally over the years, and our experience with Walt and his team was by far the best experience I have had. For the refinance of our home mortgage, I had obtained quotes from other lender relationships, but no one could commit to closing any faster than 45 days. And, no one beat Waterstone Mortgage's fees and rates. Walt committed to closing within 30 days, and his team delivered: Walt spent the time needed to understand our needs and recommend loan options to meet those needs (and the options exceeded our expectations); Mayra pleasantly and efficiently walked us through the application process; and Ann worked closely with us to expeditiously move through underwriting to closing. All in roughly 3.5 weeks. They communicated with my wife and me effectively throughout the process so that there were no surprises. In addition to our genuine appreciation for the speed and results of their services through closing, we are also grateful that we can continue to turn to them as our primary contact over the life of the loan. We could not have asked for a better experience and would recommend Walt and his team at Waterstone without hesitation."

"We used Walt and his team when we purchased our new home in Salem. We had a short close, but it was no problem for them. They were very responsive and were available when we called. We were very impressed with their professionalism and we appreciated Walt meeting with us for the Discovery Consultation. This was a great opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the process. We highly recommend Walt and his team!"

"Walt and his team are an actual delight to work with! At the beginning of my process I was disappointed with a lender, switched to Walt and holy smokes he exceeded my expectations right off the bat! He brought me to the office and laid out everything that was going to happen and multiple options to go about it. Everything was step by step, as a first time homebuyer your have many questions and he is well aware of that. He closed my house in 30 days and got me great rates! He responded in a timely manner to every question I had and I couldnt of been luckier to have such a informative, supportive and professional team to help me through this crazy process. I have to give a huge thank you to Walt and Lenda from the very bottom of my heart!"
