Some Tips for Homebuyers in a Fast-Paced Market
- Real Estate Tips
- August 23, 2016
Homes are selling a lot more quickly in the U.S. than they used to. This is obviously great for sellers but if you are a home-buyer in this climate you must be prepared to move very fast to get the home that you really want. I tried finding some useful tips on how to move as quickly as possible so that house you like isn’t already in contract by the time you make an offer.
The first tip is to set up some instantaneous property alerts. You can do this on various websites by giving your preferences along with your name, email, and number. By doing this you can receive alerts by email or text only minutes after a home goes on the market. This can give you the upper hand on seeing the house first and making an offer before anyone else gets there.
Another vital tip is to make sure you get a good agent who knows how to move fast. This might seem like a bit of self-promotion but, whether it’s me or someone else, you will need someone who can act fast and make moves aggressively to get you the house you want!
When the market is as fast paced as it is now sellers can sometimes have so many offers at once that if yours doesn’t stand out as beneficial they will just throw it aside. Therefore, it is important to be prepared to make an aggressive offer. Plan an offer strategy ahead of time with your agent before you get caught up in the emotion of falling in love with a particular home.
Buying a house in a fast-paced real estate market like the one we are in now can be very stressful but the process can be easier when you know what to expect from the process and have a good agent by your side.
