In this market if you wait ONE DAY to see a HOUSE it is now often too late. They get listed and have several offers by the end of the day. So how can a buyer find a house and get an offer accepted.
1) Be prepared to offer $10,000 to $20,000 over the asking price.
2) Be ready to write up an offer right after seeing the house.
3) Be flexible with closing dates.
4) Get approved for CONVENTIONAL FINANCING ... some bank still won't take FHA or VA loans.

Either that or come back in December.
