One of the most frequently asked questions is "What is the best way to go about buying a home?" Whether you are a first time buyer, moving to a bigger home or even a smaller home here in New Hampshire, these steps can help make your buying process be less stressfull. As a Leading Agent here in the Manchester NH area I strive to make the Buying process a wonderful experience for my clients by working with them through ALL steps of the buying process.

The FOURTH STEP in the BUYING PROCESS is MAKING AN OFFER: Now that you have found your dream Home, you are ready to make an offer. In a market such as ours with a decrease of homes on the market and an increase of sales, you want to make the best offer possible.

a. WHAT PRICE TO OFFER: You need to assess what the home is worth in todays market and subtract for any needed repairs. Never make an offer using a specific percentage off an asking price as the price may already be well below market value, at market value or priced way too high.
 
c. ARE THERE ANY OTHER OFFERS? if there are other offers submitted you may only have 1 shot to make your best offer to get this home.

d. CONTINGINCIES: Sellers hate offers with contingincies, stregthen your offer by only including a 7 day home inspection and a mortgage contingincy.

As the market here in New Hampshire is stabilizing, the time for Low ball offers is over, your offer should be well written and to the point. Include a copy of your pre-qualification letter to let that seller know you are ready, willing and able to purchase.

That first offer really needs to be a good one Scott, especially in a market with reduced inventory and the potential for multiple offers.

Hi Scott - The best way to increase the odds of writing an offer that will be accepted is to seek the advice and counsel of a real estate expert such as yourself - you know what sellers are looking for and can determine how to react to that reasonably and successfully.
