I am trying to get readjusted to the new paradigm. Houses are selling much more quickly now. It all seemed to start with the beginning of the new year. When I take clients out to see homes, I tell them that if they really like one, make an offer now. Otherwise it will be taken by someone else.
Last year I could have waited weeks to make an offer on a home. Not today. If the home is in good condition and priced correctly, it will have multiple offers on it, guaranteed. So don't keep looking after you find the right house. I know there are more out there, and you could be missing one even better, but you will not be successful with an offer if you wait too long. Times have certainly changed.
And what if your home is not selling quickly? Take a long look at your price and condition of your home. If all around you houses are selling and yours is not, then it will usually be price. Have your agent look at the comparables in your area at least once per month and listen to their advice on pricing. This will get your home sold.
