Ways To Get Your Offer Accepted In A Seller's Market

Ways To Get Your Offer Accepted In A Seller's Market Ways To Get Your Offer Accepted In A Seller's Market You’re finally ready to take the plunge and put in an offer on your dream house. You found something that is perfect for you and your family’s needs and you’re willing to pay the asking price. It’s a sure thing, right? Not so fast. A seller’s market means that there are more buyers than there are homes available for sale. It may mean that your full-price offer just isn’t going to cut it. 1)Make Your Offer As Clean As PossibleA clean offer should not be contingent on the sale of another property or have other financial constraints. It should also be free of seller concessions, which are things that a buyer asks for outside of the offer price, such as help with closing costs. At DNA Realty Group we suggest if you ask for closing costs then increase the offer significantly to fit that into the equation. 2)Avoid Asking For Personal Property - Drooling over the sparkly chandelier listed in the exclusions? Don’t ask for it. Want them to throw in that cool lawn furniture? Skip it. Your offer could be very similar in price to another offer that isn’t asking for items that belong to the seller. Asking for excluded items could weaken your offer. 3)Write A Personal Love To The Seller - A simple way to increase your odds of getting your offer accepted is to write a personal letter to the seller. At DNA Realty Group we suggest that you pay attention to the home when you see it and if you have any commonalities include it in your love letter. Describe your family and why it would mean so much to you to be the new owner and to live in the area and to grow your family there. 4) Offer Above-Asking - This is not the market for making low offers and hoping someone will bite. You will have to make your offer strong enough to beat out a multiple-bid situation. If you want the house, you’re likely going to have to go above the asking price. At DNA Realty Group we suggest you get realistic that you have to easily go $30,000 - $50,
