Buying Homes for Sale in the Bay Area In Today’s Market
If you are in the market to buy a home for sale in the Bay Area area, you are no doubt aware that you have company. The market has shifted to a full blown seller’s market for most price ranges. The combination of record low interest rates (still), lower prices, and an improving economy have combined to add strong demand to a market already constrained by low inventory.
The reality of current market conditions has complicated the process of securing a home. Aggressive buyers are overbidding for homes for sale in many of the local markets, and the increase in competition makes it imperative that buyers have a sound strategy for dealing with competition from other buyers

How many other offers does the seller have or expect?
-
What are the issues that may arise from the appraisal should it come in below the sales price?
-
What can we do to increase our chances of getting our offer accepted other than raise the offering price?
