Ready to Make Your Move?Listings are having more showings now than ever. The average listing in our MLS had more than 14 showings in January. This is another indication of how low inventory has been compared to demand. Ten years ago, the average was four, and five years ago it was seven. We haven’t experienced over-lapping showings since before the pandemic, but they’re now quite common.
As we have been saying, it’s a very competitive market for buyers and a great market for sellers.
One way to make an offer more competitive is to become a cash buyer.
With a cash offer, you get more negotiating power and sellers get what they want – more confidence that you’ll make it to the closing table and a faster closing.
Why do cash offers so often beat offers from buyers who will get a mortgage? Very simply, it’s because there are fewer contingencies. With a cash offer, you remove the appraisal contingency and the loan contingency. By removing these contingencies, you may have a little more negotiating power in other areas.
If you have a home to sell before you buy, this may help you, too.
You could avoid paying two mortgages, move out before you sell, and ensure you don’t have to move into temporary housing before you get the home you want. You’ll be able to control your own timeline!
We are always on the lookout for services that can benefit our clients. If you’re interested in learning more about how to become a cash buyer, contact us.
