5 WAYS TO THRIVE IN A SELLER'S MARKET

1. TREAT YOUR HOUSE HUNT SERIOUSLY
Stay on top of new listings and be prepared to make an offer quickly.
2. HAVE THE RIGHT PAPERWORK
Make sure you're preapproved and have proof of funds to secure the home.
3. DON'T DRAG YOUR FEET
Don't bid overly aggressive. Stay within budget and understand the seller probably has other offers on the table.
4. WAIVING CONTINGENCIES
You may want to consider removing too many contingencies within your offer, to avoid intimidating the seller.
5. WIDEN YOUR HOME SEARCH
Consider homes that may be outside of your ideal neighborhood or may need a little extra work.

Home inspections are a home buyer's best form of protection against overpaying for a home or dealing with unexpected repairs and safety hazards after moving in. As the buyer, it is your responsibility to make sure the house is safe for you and your family.

Once a real estate agreement has expired, it’s time for you to make some choices. Do you want to pull your house off the market, or keep trying to sell it? If you still want to sell, Talk with your real estate agent about why the house hasn’t sold and what your expectations are. It may be that your home was priced too high. You may want to make some minor home improvements or improve your curb appeal to make the house more attractive.

Curb appeal is key! Don’t miss out on potential buyers and cross these off of your to-do list:

- Trim up foliage and pull any weeds
- Clean up debris
- Replace dead grass, plants, and shrubs
- Add a decorative bench, colorful mailbox or flower planter

That's good news for you because it helps put those buyers in a better financial position to pursue their dream of homeownership today. This is just one reason buyers are still so active today. If you want to sell while buyer demand is strong, let's connect.
