sdr said/suggested in his post that it’s too competitive and people aren’t getting places.

I see places getting sold so some people are successful in buying

Ahh I see now.

Yeah it is a grinder out there right now. Plenty of places are moving and most of them are getting multiple offers. I have probably written upwards of 30-40 offers in the past 3 months. Many of them are backups, many of them were dismissed without a counter.

That is the current market right? What can ya do.

I am not discouraging anyone from trying to lowball, just try to measure the current market conditions so that your expectations are adjusted. I have had clients think that I am not doing a good job because the lowball offer they sent in is dismissed without even a callback.

Two days ago I got a call from a client who wanted to see a home in 4S. I called and they had a short sale offer already to the lender with 3 other offers in on it. My client said okay no problem. Then they called me yesterday and said they wanted to see it and they had to see it that day. I was already booked up and they got salty and said they were gonna go with another agent. This is someone who I sold thier home very recently and have already shown ALOT of homes to. When I told them I could show tomorrow at 10 am (which is today) she said no she had to see it now. Mind you, this is for a short sale that already has an accepted offer and will be in processing for say oh a few more months probably.

Of course these people are looking right in the wheelhouse sdr mentioned. The mid 400 to mid 500k range in pq or rb.

So yes what he said makes perfect sense. Way better ways to be earning money but it is what it is.

6 months ago was a hell of alot better time to buy then right now. Hopefully the same will be said 6 months FROM now.

Strange how people don’t adjust their strategy for the current market conditions, (both buyers and sellers) or simply sit it out if the conditions are not conducive to the strategy they want to implement.
