Good morning, Matt Stark quality post here.... in my marketplace, the competition is so fierce now, any home that's priced properly will have a bidding war and all offers will come in at or above list price because most sellers now are just taking the best deal on the table....we're dealing with appraisal issues!!
Good morning, Matt..... listings are tough to find now...and when one surfaces that's priced properly, the buyers in my marketplace need to be at list price or better initially....many sellers are not countering but taking the highest and best on the table.... there are appraisal issues...
and welcome to ActiveRain....it's a great place to learn, share, market and network....and I hope you enjoy all of it and benefit from it as much as I have...

Often it is over price, mode of payment and most important COE date..... Sellers do not want to wait 30 days and he has plenty of choices whom he wants to sell to...
Outstanding blog. Your article is going to help many buyers decide how to write that winning offer during a competing multiple offer situation.
Thank you everyone for the warm welcome!
I just heard about Activerain and I'm excited to share my blog posts and hopefully give good information.
As with any Market when it goes all the way in one direction it seems like it will never end, but it always swings back to equilibrium eventually. In the mean time it's surely a sellers market here in Seattle.

Matt, welcome to active rain! This is a great first blog post, and your spot on with your ways to win! I still hear about buyers that don't believe how strong the market is, or don't head the advice of their REALTORS. I hope this post finds them so they know what to expect.
Thanks for sharing your advice. Best wishes for great success with your ActiveRain blogs.
Have a very special Memorial Day and an outstanding week.
Agents don't realize that an Escalation Clause does not guarntee FULL Price !
Matt, we have seen multiple offers now for over a year, and money talks over the appraised value too. GREAT first post, and Welcome to ActiveRain!
Congratulations on getting your first blog post written. Keep it up, it gets easier and is good for business.
Welcome to ActiveRain. There is definitely more to winning multiple-offer situations than just price.
Welcome to Active Rain Matt Stark, I have been on a honeymoon cruise so I'm just now getting around to welcoming all the newcomers.
Escalation clause is not really into pratice. The ones I have seen are all rejected.
In here, highest and best and no contigiency is often the winner.
