In August 2026, 44.7% of U.S. home sales involved seller concessions, the highest August rate since 2020, reflecting a strong buyer's market with more homes for sale and fewer buyers. Concessions are especially common in Sun Belt cities like Atlanta and Nashville, where about 70% of buyers receive them, as sellers compete to close deals amid abundant listings. Conversely, markets like San Jose and New York see fewer concessions due to stronger seller conditions. Additionally, about 15% of buyers benefit from both concessions and price cuts, signaling ongoing seller incentives to attract buyers.
