My wife and I have been house hunting for around 4 months with the hopes of moving to the Roswell area. As I'm sure you all know, the market is bat sh** crazy right now. We've put in several offers and had a buyer come in and offer WAY above listing value/comps on most of them. We're doing everything our agent suggests to make our offers as competitive as possible, but keep striking out.
Curious to see if there are any real estate brokers on here and what sort of advice you could give us (aside from, "DON'T BUY RIGHT NOW! ). We are first time home buyers.
Thank you!
Edit: All of our offers have been $5K-$10K above listing price, we pay all closing costs, reduced inspection period contingency (3-5 days), buying as-is, offering way higher than standard earnest money, offering 30-60 days free lease back to seller, etc. and still getting creamed.
