How Buyers Get A Home Under Contract In This Competitive Seller's Market | Pinellas Real Estate

It’s no secret that the seller’s market is the new normal in Pinellas County. But how are buyers getting homes under contract in this competitive seller’s market? A recent report from the National Association of Realtors stated, “buyers are feeling pressure to make offers that are above list price, having a signed contract within days of making an offer and easing up on their demands for inspections and extending the contingency period.” If this sounds like you, you may just be missing out on the perfect home for you. Here are 5 quick tips for homebuyers trying to navigate this competitive market:

1. Make an offer over list price
2. Increase your escrow deposit
3. Shorten the inspection period
4. Pay for your own closing costs
5. Have a GOOD agent representing YOU and YOUR needs
