If you’re looking to buy a home but you’re having a hard time finding a good fit or you keep getting beat out by other offers, we have some solutions to share with you.
We try to go outside the box to find homes for our buyers. In a super hot seller’s market like ours, homes in the lower price ranges ($300,000 and under) are selling in less than a month. This means we need to be creative, and here are four ways we are finding more properties for our buyers to look at:
You’ve got to be creative to find a great home in this market.
1. Coming soon listings. These are listings that our team has that aren’t on the market yet. The listing agreement is signed, but most of the time we take a little extra time to get these homes ready for the market. You can check all of them out on our website.
2. Off-market properties. We find a lot of these by calling homeowners who had their homes on the market in the past but didn’t end up selling. Most of the time, these people are still interested in selling. However, they are nervous about another failed listing. By reaching out to those people and letting them know we have a qualified buyer looking for a home like theirs, we can greatly increase your chances of being able to buy the home.
3. FSBO homes. Also known as “For Sale By Owner” homes, these homes are being sold without the use of a listing agent. However, most FSBOs hire a buyer’s agent to help them find a buyer. That’s why it’s important to know who you are hiring so you know they have your best interests in mind.
4. Wholesale properties. There are many of these throughout the Valley. Most of them need at least some kind of major repair. If you’re an investor or someone who isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty, this might be a great option for you.
I hope this information has been helpful for you. If you have any questions for me or want to learn more about how we help buyers succeed in this market, watch this short video.
