But exactly what does that refer to?<\/p>\n<p>Put simply, concessions are incentives, like payment for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/who-pays-closing-costs-when-selling-a-house\/\">closing costs<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/what-to-fix-before-selling-a-house\/\">necessary repairs<\/a>, or personal property like furniture that the seller offers the buyer to sweeten the deal and close the transaction. In other words, concession real estate opportunities allow sellers to lock in the sale faster.<\/p>\n<p>So, let\u2019s say you\u2019re <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/steps-to-selling-a-house\/\">selling a property<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/how-to-prepare-for-a-home-inspection\/\">home inspection<\/a> reveals that the HVAC is totally kaput and will require a $10,000 overhaul. You can offer the buyer a $10,000 credit as a concession to apply at closing.<\/p>\n<p>At first glance, it may seem like concessions always benefit the buyer more than the seller, but that\u2019s not always the case. If you\u2019re hoping to attract offers in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/how-to-sell-a-house-fast-in-a-slow-market\/\">slow market<\/a> or are motivated to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/sell-home-quickly\/\">sell quickly<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/how-to-negotiate-when-selling-a-house\/\">negotiating with concessions<\/a> helps you close the deal.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homelight.com\/blog\/real-estate-top-agent-insights-for-q2-2026\/\">HomeLight\u2019s Top Agent Insights for Spring\/Summer 2026 report<\/a> found that seller concessions are helping more transactions get across the finish line.<\/p>\n<p>With our expert-backed primer, you\u2019ll learn the ins and outs of seller concessions, including examples of different types of concessions, when and how to use them, and how they can benefit both sellers and buyers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are concessions in real estate?
