How to Buy a House in a Seller's Market

Edna Wilson • August 8, 2022


How to buy a house in a seller's market, it is possible, well believe it or not, here we are more than halfway through 2022, and it is still a seller's market, and it's going to be that way for a while. So what does that mean to you if you're looking to buy a house? Well you have to know exactly what the seller wants in order to make sure that your offer stands out above all the other offers, and so there's a way to do that- well, a couple different ways. One, have your agent talk to the other agent to find out what's important to the seller because we just don't know until we ask, and it could be a closing date or it could be that we want more cash down, or that "Hey, we want house cleaning services on our new house that we're about to buy." These things are real, this happens, I literally had a lady request six months off the meal prep that you get in the mail, you know what I'm talking about, SIX months of meals, and guess what- we did it. We did it because that's what the seller wanted, that's what you do, that is how you buy a house in a seller's market, you don't go below asking price, you stand strong, and you find out what the seller wants because that's what is important in this market. Well, there's the scoop, Edna Wilson your Hometown Realtor, as Hometown as Apple Pie.
