What is it like for buyers in the current market?
Currently
there is a small inventory with a high demand. Homes are selling in
as little as 2 to 8 weeks and at full price.
If
you are making an offer, it must be realistic and fair. An
aggressively low offer will not get you the home as it may have a
year ago.
What
are the dos and don'ts of negotiating?
Buyers
do not have a lot of room to negotiate in today’s current market.
There are a lot of buyers and a low supply of homes. Often a seller
will have multiple offers. If a buyer tries to negotiate too much
about price, inspection, etc. the seller can likely find a buyer who
is willing to buy the home as is.
