From all accounts, this spring's housing market is going to be a busy one. High buyer demand has carried over from last year and so have inventory concerns in many markets. In other words, anyone hoping to find and buy a house this spring should be prepared for competition from other interested buyers. What does that mean? Well, in short, it means moving quickly and saving up some extra money to sweeten the pot, if necessary. In fact, according to a recent survey, home buyers say they are checking online listings every day and 40 percent say they're planning to put more than 20 percent down. Other strategies buyers say they're employing this spring to beat the competition include setting price alerts and offering above asking price. Overall, home buyers are aware of current conditions and are preparing themselves for the possibility of having to win over a home seller with an offer that exceeds all others. As evidence of this, just six percent of survey respondents said they are doing nothing to prepare for competition from other buyers.
For buyers in Eastern, NC, they have a good inventory of new homes and many existing homes to choose from so for this area it is not as critical to be quite as prepared for buying a home as it might be in other areas. Although it is always a good idea to be ready to whatever is necessary to get the home that you are really wanting. The agents at First Carolina Realtors are good ones to call and talk with to make sure you are totally prepared to get your dream home.
