How To Compete With Multiple Offers

Michael — Mon, 14 May 2012 17:38:51 +0000

Key points:
Property list price is disconnected from market value.

Market value is the key data point, work with an experienced agent!

Get pre-approved with your lender BEFORE writing your offer
Include cover letter with photo to demonstrate you are a real person or family!

Sweeten your offer with other contract terms (which don’t necessarily cost you extra cash).

What’s your affordability index?

Each new sale happening now is setting a new bar higher (as we’re coming off market lows).

In the not so distant future, these current bid-up prices will be the norm; plus the comps will be there to substantiate it.

Home Loan Without a Social Security Number? Really?

Michael — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 22:47:54 +0000

Yup. It appears that lending standards are loosening a bit. I think it’s a good thing, as requirements have become ridiculously tight over the past couple years.

Don’t get me wrong, we do need standards, but I think the pendulum swung a bit too hard in the ‘tight’ direction.
