Tips For Buying A Home When The Inventory Is Low
Put Your Best Offer Forward and Offer a Higher Price Within Reason
When inventory is low, prices rise because demand is high. You will be competing against multiple other offers, so it is in your best interest to put your best offer forward. Offering a higher price may seem like an overwhelming idea, but if you have found a home or two that check your boxes, a reasonable increase to the offering price could be what seals the deal!
On the topic of price, it is best to enter the house hunt when you are financially stable and with a clear understanding of your budget and how rigid it is. Low inventory and high competition could lead to quick moves, so understanding your financial parameters can help expedite the decision making process so you have a higher chance of securing the home you want!
Expand Geographical Preferences
If location isn’t everything for you and you are not tied to a specific neighborhood or area, take a leap of faith and explore the surrounding areas. You never know what you may find if you expand your search to areas within reason of your desired location. Looking at neighborhoods you originally did not plan to can also help solidify your list of needs and wants of your dream home.
Keep in mind the ideal commute to the places you frequent, such as your workplace, grocery stores, outdoor spaces, and favorite eateries. Thinking ahead and planning your commute times will save you loads of headaches in the future!
Working with Mark Spain Real Estate, you will have access to our app which allows you to plug in commute times so you can see how long it will take you to get to and from each place!
Be Patient, But Be Proactive
When there are fewer houses on the market, you might become wary and ready to lower your standards in order to settle and move on. However, we urge you to resist the temptation to throw in the towel, as our agents will continue to work for you and with you! You are our top priority, so we work relentlessly to give our clients an unparalleled client experience. There will always be new listings, and our agents will ensure to keep your goals at the forefront of everything they do.
Remain patient until your circumstances can no longer allow you to wait, keep your options open, and continue to reassess your wants and needs!
