Most sellers will likely reduce their asking price by $5,000 to $10,000 in exchange for a secure and fast closing, given the current high rate of contract cancellations.
"I think most of them will probably take five grand off their price, 10 grand off their price to know like, hey, I'm signing one contract. This thing's going to be done and paid for. I'm going to have my money in 3 weeks and that's it."

"Most of the times if you're buying new construction, especially from a large builder, they are not going to want to give up their comps... they're willing to take 10 grand of your purchase price and buy down your points because it still looks like they sold the house for their asking price."
