What's better for the seller: lowering home's price or offering closing costs? :
We are selling our home in Maryland, and it is listed for $499,900. We're willing to offer $10,000 to the buyer, and we're wondering whether we should offer to pay $10,000 toward closing costs or reduce our price by $10,000. Which benefits us most as sellers?
