\"Two<\/p>\n

If your goal is to purchase a home this year, you might be looking for any advantage you can get in today\u2019s sellers\u2019 market. While competition is still fierce for homebuyers, there are ways you can win and secure the home of your dreams, even in a hot market.<\/span><\/p>\n

Act Early and Save<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The earlier you act this year, the more affordable your purchase will be. That\u2019s because experts project mortgage rates<\/a> will rise as we move deeper into 2022. According to Freddie Mac<\/em><\/a>, the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage is expected to be 3.5% by year\u2019s end. Experts forecast home prices<\/a> will rise as well.<\/p>\n

That means the longer you wait<\/a>, the more it will cost you to buy a home. Instead, act early<\/a> and purchase your home before rates and prices rise further. Not to mention, the sooner you buy, the sooner you can experience the benefits of continued home price appreciation yourself. Once you have your home, you\u2019ll be able to watch its value rise, giving you confidence that your investment is a sound one.<\/p>\n

Buy Now, Move Later<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Keep in mind, with high buyer demand<\/a> like we\u2019re seeing today, you\u2019ll be competing against other potential homebuyers, which means you need to find a way to stand out. One way to accomplish this is to negotiate with sellers and present terms that meet their ideal needs. Danielle Hale, Chief Economist for realtor.com<\/em>, explains<\/a> one lever flexible buyers can pull to entice sellers:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cFor buyers with more flexible timelines \u2013 such as those making a move from a big city \u2013 offering a couple extra months on the closing date could sweeten the deal<\/strong> for sellers who also need to buy their next home.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In other words, if you\u2019re eager to purchase a home now before it becomes more costly and you don\u2019t have to move right away, you could extend the date of your closing and provide the seller with the time they need to find their next home. That\u2019s a deal that could benefit both parties and help you stand out from the crowd.<\/p>\n

Of course, it\u2019s important to work with a real estate professional<\/a> for expert advice on how to make your best offer<\/a>. Your trusted advisor knows what\u2019s working in your market and what may appeal to sellers.<\/p>\n

Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Experts project home prices and rates will increase in 2022. That means buyers who are ready should act soon and find ways to strengthen their offer to meet sellers\u2019 needs. Let\u2019s connect today to learn how you can win in today\u2019s market.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
