To de-risk a deal, sellers should provide comprehensive transparency including a pre-inspection report, up-to-date insurance information, and recent maintenance records. This openness reduces buyer uncertainty and limits renegotiation opportunities after contract acceptance. Additionally, pairing transparent data with realistic pricing and well-planned concessions, such as mortgage-rate buydowns, increases buyer confidence. These steps can shorten time on market and avoid deal collapse, especially important in markets adjusting to mortgage rate dips around six point one nine percent where buyer scrutiny is heightened.
