Special offer

Are we at the BOTTOM yet ?????

Real Estate Agent with Charles Rutenberg Realty BK 175337

In the last 30 days I've had 4 buyers that were looking to buy a good real estate single family home investment. Three of the four buyers were cash deals. All of the offers had multiple other buyer offers and we lost them all to higher bidders. I heard that there were as many as 10 other offers on some properties.

I shared those stories with each of my investors,with the hope that they" get the picture."

Sooooo what do I do about 4 offers and no sales?? Set up my investors to come to the plate or don't get in the game.

I think we're THERE!

PS I wrote another offer today. With a lot of explanation and stories of lost deals and these buyers experiencing the same frustration, we made an offer $5000 over asking price and........ The bank came back at highest and best!! We are possibly coming back a little higher. This market is crazy!!

If we're not at the bottom ! I'm drowning down here already:)!!!!

Buyers are out in droves is right -- but as long as more foreclosures keep on coming onto the market, we are not at the bottom it would not seem -- our 2 cents.

Until we see unemployment flatten, we will not know if a second crash is on its way.  Be so very cautious and smart.  I have seen too many double drops in my 28 years....and we have only seen one this time.
