How to Win Your Dream Home

Watch on your mobile device >>

A lot of you want to know the secret to winning the bid on a home.  It’s most important to know the market first.  The most recent report for the Perrysburg area shows a three month inventory.  This means that if no other homes came on the market there would be no houses for sale left.  That is the lowest I’ve seen in my career.

The report also shows the number of houses for sale has dropped from 500 to 280, yet prices have held steady or declined based on closed home sales.

Now that you know the market, we have four tips to help you win the home you want.

Don’t Look Back

When you find a home you like, make a bid.  There is no assurance a house like it will come on the market soon.

Be Serious

Make your best offer first.  If you give a weak offer first, often times you are helping someone that has a better bid get the home.

Hire a Local Real Estate Expert

You need someone who knows what they are doing.  It is a competitive market; you need a full time real estate agent who will work around the clock for you.

It’s Not Winner Takes All

Make an offer that works for both you and the seller.  Communicate with the seller, find out what they want.  If you’re flexible in other channels you may be able to get a better deal.
