Seller note interest rates

by a searcher from Harvard University - Harvard Business School

What is a standard interest rate and term for a seller note these days? I offered 5% and the broker is telling me 10-12% is market rate right now at a 4 year term. I thought 5-8% was standard but I'm not sure if inflation/interest rate hikes are affecting expectations for interest on a seller note. Thanks!

Get lower if you can but 10% is decent. Prime is already 7% and Powell said he'll con't raising rates until inflation hits 2.3%.
