Deep dives

The challenge of buying in a competitive market

In a market with low inventory and high competition, buying property can be challenging. Working with your own agent may not give you a competitive advantage as agents prioritize their clients' interests. It is crucial to write strong offers that stand out from the crowd. This may involve offering a higher price than the asking price or being open to negotiation. However, caution should be exercised to avoid overpaying for a property. Additionally, considering properties with longer days on the market or properties that have been sitting for a while may offer opportunities for less competition.
