Snooze You Lose:

The Speed of Real Estate Today

A buyer found their dream home and thought they had time to "sleep on it" before making an offer. Unfortunately, by morning, that same home was already under contract with someone else. In a competitive market, waiting can lead to disappointment, as the perfect property often doesn’t wait around.

In a competitive market, waiting can lead to disappointment, as the perfect property often doesn’t wait around. When you find the one, don’t hesitate. Lock it in before someone else does!

Don’t let your dream home slip away. What seems like a simple decision to "sleep on it" may result in losing out to another buyer. Be ready to act quickly, and remember, when it comes to real estate, you snooze you lose!

Reach out to us as soon as you're ready to buy, and we’ll help you move quickly!

If they have to sleep on it, that usually means they don't have to have the home anyways, so I am never disappointed when they lose out after sleeping on it, haha.

Good morning, Sheila and Larry... I tell my clients that if they want to sleep on it they might never get to sleep in it!

Good morning Larry and Sheila. The words on Nina Hollander, Broker are well put. Act and seal the deal or sleep on it and roll the dice. If you sleep on it, remember the casino usually wins and you lose. Enjoy your day.

Yes indeed. I've also said and heard the same as Nina Hollander, Broker - If you sleep on it, you won't be sleeping in it.

Kat Palmiotti hi Kat... it's kind of tongue in cheek, but the message is clear!

Good morning Larry and Sheila,

In a competitive market if you want the house you need to make an offer! You snooze you will lose which can lead to real disappointment.

Hello Sheila and Larry - real estate has no shortage of messages.  There is something being conveyed when a buyer says, "let me sleep on it".   Maybe it's about counting sheep but methinks it's something else.  💤

Hello Sheila and Larry and I have had people "sleep on it" and lost out on a home or two.  Good advice to buyers

During this fast moving market, home buyers need to be prepared to make immediate decisions.

A house on our block came on the market over the weekend and contracts are due by this evening.

Hi Larry and Sheila- buyers need to be prepared to act on their dream home when they see it or be prepared for someone else to.
