Before your seller drops the price, show them what that same money does as a closing cost credit or a rate buydown. Compare the buyer's payment and cash to close while keeping the seller's proceeds in view.

Enter the listing and the dollar amount your seller is willing to give up. The tool shows the same amount three ways.
A lender quote is needed for this price, down payment and loan. A point does not buy a fixed rate reduction, so enter the quoted rate and its quoted cost.
Enter the listing price and incentive to compare.
Payments are principal and interest only. Taxes, insurance, mortgage insurance and HOA dues are excluded. Seller proceeds are before mortgage payoff, commissions, taxes and other selling costs. Estimates for discussion only, not a rate quote or loan approval.
Keep the price is the starting point: the listing as is, with no incentive. Price reduction lowers the purchase price by the amount entered, which shrinks the buyer's loan a little and the seller's proceeds a lot. Seller credit keeps the price and instead pays the buyer's eligible closing costs and the cost of a permanent rate buydown, up to the amount entered.
Everything you enter is processed in your browser and is not saved or sent anywhere. The "Copy link" button simply puts your inputs in the page address so you can share the exact scenario with a seller or colleague.
Share the price, the likely buyer profile and the incentive your seller is considering. She returns a real quote for the permanent rate and its cost, usually the same day.
Drop the quote into the tool above and print it. Your seller sees the payment, cash to close and proceeds for every option on one page.
