Buyers and Sellers – Stay Focused on Your Goal

Buying or selling a home can be stressful, even in normal times.

Right now, when the housing market is moving at a frenetic pace, both buyers and sellers are making quick decisions and are feeling extreme pressure.

As the tension rises, it can be easy to overlook the end goal; right-sized home, relocation, dream home, etc. Try not to lose focus!

 

Buyer Challenges

Facing a very tight inventory of available properties, buyers have limited time to

arrange to tour homes and knowing they must make a quick decision once they have.

Buyers do not have the luxury of a second look or hesitation

and often are competing against multiple offers, adding to the pressure.

 

Seller Challenges

Sellers are also feeling the challenge of the frantic pace.

While it is nice to have multiple offers from which to choose, the fact that the offers are at times being made sight-unseen

means that some of the offers may not be the buyer’s first choice and they could lose a “real” offer by choosing to work with the wrong one.

In addition, if the seller intends to buy another home, then they will be in the same position as

the buyers once they enter that side of the competitive market.

 

The bottom line

In each case, however, is to stay focused on the end goal. Why are you looking to buy or sell? Working with your agent, and relying on their experience, keep your eye on the prize and recognize that the goal will be worth the effort.
