Tulsa OK Experiencing Very Competitive Buyers’ Marketplace
Watch on your mobile device >>
More and more buyers are eager to find their dream home and lock in today’s excellent interest rates. The caveat to that however, if you’re a buyer, is that you will have to get very competitive with other buyers. The reason for all this competition? Low inventory levels.
For the past several months now, our region – like much of the nation – has been experiencing unprecedented levels of activity coupled with fewer homes on the market. All this adds up to less supply and more demand. So how do we help our buyers manage to find and happily move in to their dream homes? We have several strategies. Among them are to share full-time, wholly dedicated buyers’ agents with you that are fully focused on finding you what you are looking for.
We will do what it takes, even if that means driving around looking for the right home, seeking out For Sale By Owners that may not be widely marketed. We will even reach out to colleagues in the real estate community from other firms, to see if they have anything coming up that suits our buyers’ needs.
In short – we get it done. But there are some things that you should do to make it an even more positive and fruitful experience.
Get Pre-Qualified By a Lender
This may sound like an afterthought but the truth is that with so few homes for sale, sellers know they have the upper hand. And these days many sellers will not even entertain an offer unless it is accompanied by a letter from a lender pre-qualifying you for the purchase.
Know What You Want and What You Can Afford
It is critical to be able to know exactly what your deal breakers are in your search for a home, and what items you are willing to compromise on. It is also important to know exactly what you love in a home so that the moment it becomes available, you are don’t have to go through the process of second-guessing yourself.
