Let's look at that property weekend after next...
The market all over the country is super hot this Summer. Buyers who are looking to purchase should act quickly, be prepared to jump on the first opportunity to tour new listings. What is available today, might not be available tomorrow. So, if your realtor says that it is time to see a house, you should ask...when.
Have you heard the saying, " first come...first served. " With multiple offers being submitted all over the country, if you see what you like, it most definitely might be the time to act.
Read the blog below by James Dowling where he explains if you wait till next weekend...it might not be there for you.
While the DC Real Estate market is having a small seasonal slow-down - it's not SLOW and buyer's don't have the luxury of moving slowly.
We have had buyers tell us; well let's see that house next week or after my 10-day vacation. Well don't expect that home to still be available. A seasonal slowdown here in the DC market means there may only be 1 other offer you are competing with - not 9 other offers.
While we always true and educate our buyers; they don't always believe us - that is until that property they really wanted to see is under contract. Often we hear "Why didn't you tell me there was an another offer?". Well sadly; listing agents often are not going to hold an offer back when we haven't even taken a look at the property.
Buyers: If you see a property which you want to see; we should plan to see it ASAP. Not next weekend or next week. If it is "The One"; why give others a chance to see it and then have to compete with them? If your agent is too busy; well then that's another problem...
Happy House-hunting!
