SOLD!!! Yes...because it's a SELLER'S MARKET

I say it's a 'Seller's Market', but at the same time it's still very much a 'Buyer's Market' considering the prices they're able to purchase at. Even the National Assocation of Realtor's are on board saying just last week that it's NOW a seller's market. The thing is, like I've been saying, is there's a TON of competition out there. 

I listed this home in Murrieta, it was on the market with only a couple of viewable images and one open house. I had several offers before the 5th day came along. We accepted an offer on the 8th day and opened escrow on the 9th and I have several 'backups'... I think if there's any seller's looking to sell, but haven't wanted to because they just wanted to 'Hold On'...right now might be the time to see what you'd at least get if you were to sell. 

I'd be glad to do a "Complimentary Market Analysis" so that you can get an idea of what your home is worth. I have more than a handful of people looking to buy a home in Murrieta, they're VERY qualified and serious. I'm here to list your home so you get the most out of it. I'll be honest, listen and communicate with you so that you know what's happening every step of the way.

No luck getting offers accepted?

I've got plenty of buyers that I've searched and searched for homes for. Unfortunately, there are times where it just doesn't work out. It's really a bummer, especially when you're driving everyday for a week, looking at every new home available. We'd submit offers at asking price, above asking price, above asking price with no contingencies and get beat out everytime. Or there would be the times where we'd actually get an offer accepted, buyer's might feel as though that home wasn't the right fit, we'd retract our offer....then they'd change their mind, lol...

Hey, it happens.

I think the biggest thing, is to trust your Realtor. You chose them for a reason, hopefully it's because you really clicked with them and trust that they'll be as honest and forth coming as possible. You believe they have your very best interest at heart. If you don't feel that way, then you'll want to RUN not WALK the other way.

You'll also want to listen to what they have to say.

It's no joke that inventory is incredibly limited. You know that part, but what you may not realize is how quickly an investor will put a cash offer in front of a seller. There are multiple offers on every house that's made available to the market. Even the serious buyers are stepping up their game and presenting their STRONGEST offers in the right away now.

I just have to say, if you see a home you like:

1. Don't think about it overnight before you put an offer (especially if it's priced lower)

2. Be sure to have up to date info (bank statements & prequal letters from lenders)

3. Don't ask for the moon and the stars...When there was a flood of homes available to the market, you could negotiate like crazy. Right now, it's really not like that. The seller's don't want to pay for your home warranty, inspections and closing costs. Don't fret though...most lender's are willing to pay closing costs through your loan by raising interests rates. With interest rates as low as they are, it's a great option!

The stronger you can make your offer, the better. If you're able to do a nice cover letter to go with that, making yourself more relatable to the sellers, that could score you some extra points too :-)

Good luck with your house hunt and if you haven't found the right agent, feel free to consider me!
