Sellers: Expect Multiple Strong Offers this Season
This Winter Season will be Hot!
The Florida winter season has traditionally been busy for 2nd homes and condos sales however this year we are experiencing a strong real estate market for our year-round single-family homes It is creating an interesting challenge for buyers that are forced to compete for their dream home.
The spring/summer selling season typically starts in March or April however buyers are not waiting anymore. They understand that moving into their new home might take longer due to the shortage of inventory. Also, the fear of rising interest rates is creating urgency.
The Palm Beach County real estate market is hot for almost all types of properties and is the perfect storm for sellers.
Well-priced homes have always attracted multiple offers. Most of the time these proposals are differed in strength, permitting the seller to easily make the best decision based on price and terms. In this current climate, with inventory so low, well-qualified buyers are searching for homes and making quick decisions. As a great outcome, sellers are receiving multiple, strong offers. Many homes are selling over asking price, with amazing terms such as post-occupancy agreements, short or no inspections, quick financing, flexible closing dates and I have even seen things like BBQs. Crazy right?
A recent report by the National Association of Realtors®, says that the average seller receives 3.7 offers on their home. This sounds like good news however many homes in Palm Beach County are having 10-20 serious offers.This sounds like good news however many homes in Palm Beach County are having 10-20 serious offers.
