Information for Buyers: A matter of Timing
Buying real estate can sometimes involve tricky timing. For example, you may have found the perfect house and are thinking of making an offer but you are feeling pressure to make a decision just when you want time to consider the matter.
Your agent explains to you that another party is also thinking of making an offer so you shouldn’t hesitate if you really want the house. What should you do? Trust your agent.
It is natural to feel some pressure from even the most easy going real estate agent, and to feel some uncertainty about making an offer. If you really do like the house, there is always the possibility that someone else will share your enthusiasm for the home. Whether your local market is active or sluggish, it is sensible to assume that another offer could come in while you are thinking about it. Perhaps you can afford to “sleep on it” but moving as quickly as possible will minimize the possibility that the house will go to another buyer..
