Right now the market is switching from a buyer's market to a seller's market. What do you need to do as a buyer to get the home you really want?
- Be alert – check new listings as soon as you receive them and look at homes that fit your criteria as soon as possible.
- Be ready – be mentally and physically ready to make an offer the first time you see a home. Time is your enemy. If you sleep on it, it could cost you the house.
- Be flexible – Can you be a bit flexible with your criteria? Rather than four bedrooms, will three work, if the house is perfect except for an older kitchen, can you renovate it after you move in? Now is not the time to be extremely picky.
- Be patient – you may find the right home today or four weeks from today, but don’t despair, be patient and you will find a home.
- Be persistent – it is normal right now to lose several homes in multiple offer situations. Don’t despair, learn from each situation and develop a better plan for the next time.
