    Seller Concessions

    Temporary Interest Rate Buydowns

    Lenders calculate the monthly mortgage payment by considering the purchase price, down payment, and market interest rate. However, for the first one, two or three years of the loan the buyer’s principal and interest payments are reduced from what those payments would have been if the interest rate was the market rate the lender offered the buyer.

      The lender, however, still receives the full amount based on the market interest rate. The difference between the market rate payments and the buyer’s reduced payments will be paid from a fund that the seller deposits with the lender at closing. This is referred to as a seller concession.


      The seller’s payment (concession) is used to “buy down” the buyer’s interest rate for the first 1 to 3 years of the loan, so that the buyer only pays what is owed to the lender under the reduced interest rate. 


      Bear in mind, the buyer still must qualify based on the market interest rate, because after 12 to 36 monthly payments at the reduced interest rate(s), the remaining monthly principal and interest payments will be based on the initial market rate offered by the lender.

    Permanent Interest Rate Buydowns

    Borrowers can permanently reduce their interest rate by seller concessions of up to three discount points for fixed-rate mortgages with loan terms of 15, 20, 30 years, etc., and 5/6-Month, 7/6-Month, and 10/6-Month ARMs (adjustable rate mortgages). The interest rate can be up to 75 basis points lower than prevailing market rates.

    • READ MORE

      In a permanent buydown, the interest rate is lowered by a certain percentage for a fixed number of years or the entire duration of the mortgage.  Often, the interest rate can be permanently reduced by as much as 2%.


      Seller concessions are used to “buy down” the buyer’s interest rate for either a fixed or adjustable rate term.


      Best of all, the buyer qualifies based on the reduced interest rate.  Therefore, the monthly principal and interest payments will be based on the reduced interest rate and not the initial market interest rate offered by the lender.

    What are Seller Concessions?

    A seller concession (or seller credit) can include any credit to the buyer for payments such as closing costs, requests for repairs, termite section II costs, homeowner insurance, and the payment owed by the buyer to their own broker (Buyer Representation and Broker Compensation Agreement). 

     

    Buyer closing costs consists of loan origination fees, lender inspection fees, recording fees, appraisal fee, loan points (discount points), interest rate buydown, property taxes, title insurance, escrow fees, and in some cases attorney’s fees.

    

    Use the estimated closing costs provided by your lender to give you an idea of what to ask the seller to pay for.

    Written Buyer Agreements

    (Buyer Representation and Broker Compensation Agreement)

    No.

    In this case, since the MLS Participant is only working for the seller, and not the buyer, the MLS Participant does not need to enter into a written agreement with the buyer.


    No.

    An agreement is not required because the participant is performing work for the seller and not the buyer.


    Are written buyer agreements required when MLS Participants perform ministerial acts?


    An MLS Participant performing only ministerial acts—and who has not taken the buyer to tour a home—is not working with the buyer and therefore does not yet need to enter into a written buyer agreement. (Updated 7/23/24)


    Ministerial acts:  those acts that a licensee may perform for a consumer that are informative or clerical in nature and do not rise to the level of active representation on behalf of a consumer.


    Are written buyer agreements required in a dual agency scenario when a single agent works both for the seller and for the buyer?

    Yes.

    If an MLS Participant is working as an agent for a buyer, a written agreement is required.


    Limits for Seller Concessions

    The limit for conventional loans depends on how much you’re putting down:

    If your down payment is less than 10%, the seller can contribute up to 3%.

    If your down payment is 10% – 25%, the seller can contribute up to 6%.

    If your down payment is more than 25%, the seller can contribute up to 9%.

    If you’re buying an investment property, the seller’s contribution is limited to 2%, no matter what your down payment is.


    For all Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans, the seller can contribute up to 6% of the purchase price. Concessions on FHA loans can be put towards closing costs, appraisal fees and other expenses related to this real estate purchase.

    Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) loan rules dictate that the seller can contribute up to 4% of the purchase price. Seller concessions on VA loans may include payments toward a buyer’s judgments and debts, as well as VA funding fees.

    The seller may contribute up to 4% of the sale price, plus reasonable and customary loan costs on VA home loans. Total contributions may exceed 4% because standard closing costs do not count toward the total.
