I keep getting outbid on home offers I’m making
I keep getting outbid on home offers I’m making on single family homes.
HOW MUCH OVER ASKING PRICE DO I NEED TO OFFER?
I’m looking in the Tyler, Texas area, doing a conventional loan.
I offered day of, full asking price with pretty good terms (2% in Ernest ) and was not chosen.
So then I started to sweeten the deals. I offered on a house day of last week at 2% OVER asking price. They still went with someone else.
How far over asking price have y’all seen people bidding recently?
Is this getting too out of hand? Should I just wait for a crash? (Realizing that could be YEARS) from now
Just looking to see what others are observing in other areas or situations
Thanks!
