Buyers Continue Bidding Wars
It continues to be a “dog-eat-dog” world for home buyers. Brokers advise clients to get pre-approval, save, and have some cash to bring to the table. Many home buyers are waiving home inspections, bidding before seeing the home, paying cash, and paying thousands over the asking price to get to the closing table. With more buyers than sellers, the competition is vicious with the average home going for $10,000 over the asking price. Appraisal guarantees are deal-makers, and buyers will have a hard time winning a bid without one.
