## Resource

Mortgage rates just hit a six-month high at 6.71%, making homes feel out of reach for many buyers—and sellers are holding off, too. But don’t panic: some sellers are throwing down big incentives—$50K or even $100K—to help buyers snag lower rates, sometimes as low as 5.875%. One buyer’s story proves it’s still possible with negotiation. Even a half-percent drop can save you hundreds a month. The market’s tough, but smart moves can still land you your dream home.
