Using your $100K example, the 6% seller assist is far more valuable to this buyer than merely reducing the purchase price by $6K because the 6% seller assist is a $6,000 reduction in funds required to close whereas reducing the purchase price by $6K equates to less than a $200 savings (2.5% down payment + some incidentals).

Paying more upfront than required is not something i would ponder.Good luck
