How to Get Your Offer Accepted on a House
There’s nothing worst than making an offer on a house only to be rejected. In a seller’s market, the average house buyer will place ten offers before having one accepted. It can be very frustrating investing your time to buy a house only to be turned down time and again. Homebuyers are usually competing with at least 8 others for the same house.
We don’t like seeing our buyers upset so we’ve created the Southern Home Buyers Sweeteners Guide. It will show you how to get your offer accepted on a house. It’s a robust list of all of the ways that we sweeten your deal in order to win the bid for the house that you finally find and want. Now it’s not just your Southern tea that’s sweet!
Here’s the top 3 reasons why it’s so hard to win the house you want;
1. Tennessee is a fabulous place to live. It’s wholesome, hospitable, honorable, American and friendly. The taxes aren’t bad either.
2. Many companies have found that it is business friendly.
3. The cost of living and home prices aren’t bad. Even now.
For these reasons and many more people are choosing to relocate to Tennessee. Whether you are just moving into the state or are needed a change in the type of home that you have there’s a problem. Here’s the roadblocks buyers are facing in the current market;
1. Low Housing Inventory
The number of houses available are far less then the number of buyers. This makes it tough to get the house you want when you find it.
2. Low Interest Rates
Interest rates are still amazing. This gives more buying power to you the buyer. It also gives more buying power to all the other buyers that want the same home you do.
3. Summer
We are now in the high season for home sales. School is almost out. Families are on the move. They’ll want to find their new home and get moved in before the new school year begins. Just the thought of not having a child enrolled in school is enough to keep any parent up all night long.
