Assuming you are asking as a hypothetically interested buyer at least:Here or a couple of my favorites.
Buyers tend to flock to the same properties.Sometimes they just flock to damn near everything.
If you just want to compete, as in get to escrow instead of the other buyer on the most in demand properties, write thoughtful multiple offers on a prioritized list of properties site unseen.
If you want to try to get a good jump on value.
Find places where you don’t have to compete so much and write aggressive offers.Be better at assessing value and potential other people don’t see and be willing to buy for that instead of for the shiny pergranteel, as bloggers used to frequently say. This is going to probably require elbow grease or some other type of work to maximize. Real estate agents might help you but require that you do much of the legwork too.
