Buyers, It's Time For A New Game Plan

"I'm sorry, but the sellers accepted an offer this morning on that house you love."  Those are the dreaded words that no prospective buyer wants to hear and it is happening more and more in recent days.  As the outside temperatures begin to rise, so does the activity in the Houston area housing market.  While sellers are happy with price points and buyer demand on the rise, buyers are scratching their heads wondering "what happen to the housing crisis, rock bottom pricing, loads of sitting inventory??"  The days of "low ball offers", "plenty of inventory to choose from" and "foreclosures driving the prices lower" are disappearing.  Now, many buyers are finding themselves ready to buy but once they find a great deal, they aren't acting fast enough before it's gone.  It's a new ball game buyers, so if you see it, love it, DON'T WAIT...make your offer asap!!  It helps to have a good game plan if you are going to play in today's game of real estate...contact a Realtor (one with a good play book) and get ready to play to WIN!  And yes, interest rates are still historically low so what are you waiting for...let's play!
